IF people want to overlook such posts it is easy enough to do as it is to skip over almost subject - or poster - one does not care for.
Thanks for both posts Jellac. I read in the horse newsletter that the complaint was filed in January and authorities brought the private rescues into it. It amazes me how long it takes to get to the point of getting the animals away from the abusers.
As for where a news discussion should be placed, news is news, IMO. Gosh, The Horse had it as a top 5 story. Anything that is active news about horses, should be considered "General" and active, until such time it needs to be filed/archived. General is considered the front page here, isn't it? Even newspapers don't file news stories, of importance to the general public, under specific topics. Only exception is regular or serial type of topics.
Otherwise, there is some heavy duty filing needed in the General Index, starting with Citronade died. Isn't there an obituary index?
And shouldn't the newsflash about Buckpond be under Breeding?
