whats with all the stickies?
there are lots of sites I can go to if I want to see the stages
why do I have to scroll down a page to find a thread?
Is this an american thing?
why cant all the stage profiles be in one sticky?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

It was done as a convenience for the TdF fans on the board, George.

Well, imho its is not convenient. How about creating a stage sticky on the day of the stage -- which has worked great until this avalanche of stickys -- not twenty in advance. That would make more sense -- not to mention create less clutter.

Someone suggested stickying the stage threads as was usually done in past years, and fortunately its been done and the return of that practice helps reduce those problems.
Waiting till the day of the stage is usually problematic as one needs to hunt for the stage threads.

Thanks for the replies
Looks like I just have to live with it.
but I would have thought 5 days in advance would have been enough.
thanks again
