THis is a awesome thread how do we make it a sticky??

Quick2Skip01 · 08-15-2007, 07:21 AM

We definitely need this to be a sticky! Im sure if a Mod is contacted they can decide whether or not it is sticky worthy!
Thanks for putting this together I just sat and read through every thread.

Yup, great information! Definitely needs to be sticky

Just thought I'd add another thread on here....apparently I can't edit my original post since it is so old, but in this thread SueB does a very good job of explaining how to determine if a feed is a ration balancer

I'm SOOO Confused...Another Post on Ration Balancers!

Also thanks to everyone for the compliments...I too hope it can become a sticky to help everyone find it
