Lou,
I've been thinking about your proposal, and I have a similar concern as pegasus. I don't think putting a halt on a thread would keep people from posting similar-styled posts on a new thread. It may serve to only create many more similar threads on one board.Also, I can tell from past posts that you wish Dr. Bob would respond to your requests faster than he does sometimes. And I know he has missed some of them as well. I just think a 12 hour window is way too short to allow for someone who also has a day job to get to his adminstrative tasks here on Babble. Heck, I can't even reply to all my emails in a couple of days sometimes, let alone a number of hours. And I suspect Dr. Bob's day job is busier than mine at the moment (although I could be busier if I didn't procrastinate so much!)
Anyway, I just wanted to post my concern about taking further action after 12 hours have passed (regarding your proposal in another thread), and about putting a halt to threads. The latter doesn't sound necessary or feasible to me.
I do realize that you care very much about making Babble a better place, and although I don't agree with your current suggestions, I do admire your caring.
