Kelly,
Actually, I love doing the "Hotline" as a forum thread because, as you said, everybody can access it and add to it.
Plus, everything is in chronological order as posted, from top to bottom. In my original "Hotline," the most recent was at the top, so it was very confusing and difficult, after the fact, to have to read from bottom to top.

Plus, when somebody wanted to add something to the Hotline, they had to either call me or e-mail me, and then I had to post it. This way the middle man (me) is eliminated. I think you get more information this way than the other way, and you can immediately see the relationship between the various, and sometimes conflicting posts.

Also, when there is a reporting error about something, and there is a post to correct that error, it's much easier to go back up the thread and get the context than if everything is all run together.

And, by the way, if anybody does want to add something to this thread but doesn't know how to get on the forum, they can still call me, 305-451-3287 or e-mail me, [email][email protected].[/email]
