Hey ye oldsters, take up your brooms, we'll strike a sweeping party! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, if before starting the campaign my 'cleaning' was occasional, now, to give a good leading example

, I purposefully cleaned up all my ezposts in the Books forum. It took a good part of a week-end surfing, but it was not as difficult as I've feared. For one, there is less to clean than laziness suggested - only last two pages of the Books (69-70), not half of them as I've expected, were 'heavily-ragged' - those to be posted prior to Fall 2001. Prior to Fall 2002 only smiley codes are amiss, and those don't interrupt flow of the discussion very much.

Besides, it can be done simultaneoulsy - several threads in one go - one opens the last or last but one page of any given forum and works from the end, looking up threads were one has posted (ones where bulbs are marked with little white dots) Edits can be done bunch at a time, by means of 'open link in new window' facility

Still, I admit, I dread cleaning of Quotes forum. Next weekend, probably. Or maybe one after the next...
