Hi

I've seen this all too often in discussion groups. People are afraid that the posts they write will not be read by a lot of people, so they simply write in the most popular thread. This is very typical stuff. I say that you should, as Bill says, keep a strictly HM forum, like you do with all of your other topics, but that you should create a "lumped" forum, where all of the new posts from the various topics would be gathered. We could also post from this forum, but we should specify in which category the post re;ates to, so that they can be reprinted to the appropriate section. This is like having two forums in parralel, one lumped, and one with different sub-sections, and they would all PRINT THE SAME INFO. The "lumped" forum would take up a lot of space, since it duplicates all of the new info from the other forums, but this can be easily fixed by deleting ALL posts from this forum every week or so. So this would basically a "latest posts" forums. My two cents...
