I don't get it …
I've noticed around here that there's a tendency for people to 'take ownership' of threads they initiate.
There also seems to be some kind of pride about the number of hits and responses a thread achieves, once it is published.
I suppose, I personally like to know that there may be folk out there who may be thinking along the same lines as myself when I initiate a thread.
And I suppose, I (usually) enjoy the conversation with other minds, who maybe thinking about similar subjects.
But the reality is, there is no competition leading to a prize, as a result of the perceived success or failure of a thread, based on popularity measures.
Once an initial post is 'out there', we should acknowledge that we no longer 'own' it, (it in fact, belongs to IIS as a contribution from its members), nor can we be entirely directly responsible for managing the direction it takes, once published.
This is what the moderators are there for, isn't it ?
This would be a good topic for a new thread, as I am fairly sure there are many views to be voiced about it.
In this case, I for one, have total respect for Suzy's quest and I'm totally in support of it, (as I suspect, are all of my fellow 'teasers' .. why wouldn't we be ?). I also see that any 'banter', actually contributes to building awareness of her quest, thereby building support for the exercise.
Cheers & Rgds
