I wonder whether we'd have the problem of people finding the OLD thread and not the new one. Is that problem solvable on SI? Easily solved. Folks find threads in different ways: Some use the search feature and if we simply change the header to THE Avalon Group, Inc. (AVAL) it would always bring up both threads and it would soon be obvious as to which is the current thread by the dates listed for last post. They may have bookmarked the old thread so all we need to do is send out a message on that thread stating the purpose and location of the new thread. I will volunteer to send a PM to anyone posting on the old thread leading them to the new one, or you guys can do it. <g> Folks also find threads by their interest in the category they are listed under. This one is now in the Under $5 category. Personally I believe there may be a more important category to list under, but I will leave that up to the cheerleaders to decide. It may expose AVAL to an entirely higher level of investor. Cheers, Jon
