I would like to commend you for this post. Very well said.
I agree with you in all that you've said in this post. I like this post and am glad that you are addressing it.
Excellent posts, these should be stickies. And oft quoted!
Just as we have a 'Like' button to indicate that we "like" a post - what if we had a 'Sticky-Worthy' button ( or an option added to the 'Thread Tools' menu - or as a separate entry on the bar - at the top of the thread page ) to indicate that we believe the thread is "worthy" of being a 'sticky' thread?
Whether the total-times-the-button-has-been-pressed was visible to the membership or not -- would it not be useful to the site staff?
