That is not what happened. There was unanimous consensus. JudyM Nov 2018 #186

People can see the host list here. Autumn Nov 2018 #173

I was under the assumption that hosts don't alert on posts (not as a rule, but as a fairness issue). demmiblue Nov 2018 #180

I understand why hosts sometimes alert threads that need to be locked. TexasTowelie Nov 2018 #184

Somebody has to alert. Often, alerts here are for petty stuff or in Hoyt Nov 2018 #112

Why was Goats of Christmas past hidden. LiberalArkie Nov 2018 #154
