I voted yes.. But this idea from wolf_Q sounds good..

ME TOO!!!

I am definitely one who has been posting recall notices in multiple places. Like this morning's salmonella recall. First, the existing threads were about the Menu Foods recall, so that didn't seem a proper fit. Second, this one covered treats for dogs, cats, AND FERRETS. The prior ones did not impact any other pets, that I remember anyhow.

Where the heck was I supposed to put it? I am not apologiizing for putting it in three places; I have said else where, I would love to have ONE place to put that stuff. That's why I agree that we need a place.

In any recall posts I have made, I have always included a link to either a news story or the food maker's web site. I don't just post and expect folks to take my word for it. I think this is important for however we do this going forward.

AND, the news today also said that there will be more foods added to the wheat gluten list, as more companies finish their research. So yup, everyone who said they thing this is going to continue, I agree with that too.

OK, Mayor, put on your thinking cap and figure out how we can make this easier on all of us!

Exactly! I felt so confused too! It fit everywhere and nowhere all at the same time.

I also agree about linking. Not only that, but it makes it a lot more legal if you want to include any quotes. (Copyrights and stuff.) I just call it common courtesy. Besides, sometimes the original article has extra links and stuff. Maybe someone wants to write to thank the paper for covering the story?

I get so frustrated when one of the mods on a local board copy and pastes the article and gives no indication where it came from. No link, no writer's name, no copyright!

I vote yes. I dont like the idea of a sticky because as some other have said, I dont notice stickies anymore, my eyes austomaticly go below them, I never bother to look at a sticky.

a sticky is one of those posts at the top of a forum that dont slide down.
