I'm getting a bit bored of having to plough through a load of environmental stickies before I get to any current issues in the News forum. News is supposed to be about topical events, so the very idea of a sticky in a news forum is contradictory. If a subject is topical, people will be posting on it, so no need of a sticky.

The last post on Ways to be Green was 7 months ago, and the last post on Is there Any Way we can Change the World was 16 months ago (from which I conclude that there are no more ways we can change the world). People long ago stopped posting on the Japan earthquake thread, so why is it still a sticky?

Then we have Global Warming - Useful Links. Why? Anyone interested in this subject can simply Google it. If we're going to have Global Warming - Useful Links we might as well have Global Recession - Useful Links, or even Palestine - Useful Links. The list could be endless.

So I've decided unilaterally to un-Sticky all four of these topics, and see what happens. Maybe I will become automatically deactivated. Only one way to find out ...

Seems sensible to me. Probably long overdue. Ta!

HARSH..... but ultimately fair

I thought that we should have at least one sticky here.

Was scrolling past 4 threads really that much of a chore???

Has anyone seen the Ways to be Green thread? Used to be a sticky.

Why is this a sticky?

someone's got a cracking sense of humour??

It's a sticky situation, that's for sure.

What's brown and sticky?

Toffee!

I didn't make it a sticky - I'm far too modest for that. But I like seeing it there nevertheless, in all its sticky glory
