: I can delete old messages from this board. Doing so would make it easier to catch up on the current posts, but I've left the old ones there because I sort of like being able to go back and check on things.

: Any opinions? Other suggestions?

: If anyone knows of a better freeware/shareware script for message boards, I'd be happy to consider something along those lines.

I tend to agree with Aetheling, but by the way this page is growing even using two separate sites might become too cumbersome for newcomers to avoid the feeling of being overwhelmed. Obviously, some of the older material will be of interest to newcomers as well as to regular visitors who want to go back and check on a point previously made, but if the older material could be edited and extraneous material deleted it would be of benefit. I realize that this would be time-consuming though. The person who would have to do the work should be the one to make the final decision on just how far to go in the editing.
