i suppose i don't care either about the length; i just go straight to the last page anyway to catch up on how the day went for everyone else. but i like it being a sticky. it's a check-in thread about what we all have in common in this area, and i do like reading about everyone else's day. so to me having it up there right at the top makes it like a banner of what this particular forum's about. i'd be sad if i had to go hunting for it among the darwin ethic of the other threads, but i'd probably live anyway.
