[AccessD] AccessD Forum/was Please Help!

#1 - Agreed.   That is a problem, but surely we could come up with a way

#2. No argument there.  Spot On!
#3. Or no limit at all, BUT one problem I have noticed is that things
"drift" off the original topic and probably needs to have people more
ProActive in starting new threads instead of just clicking on Reply.
