If there is a subject/topic/post that people feel they want to be read/responded to immediately (i.e., it's a time-sensitive issue), I don't think there's anything wrong with it being posted in GRD and then moved to the appropriate section when it is no longer urgent.

Thoughts?


Like the thread on Kayaking?


:oops: Sorry about that. I actually thought afterwards that it should have gone in NRR :oops:

If mods like, I have no objections to it being moved.

if we REALLY want visibility, we can move the thread into each board, leaving the redirect point in every one... then it'd be in ALL the boards! lol
