I feel to add this so you don't keep thinking no one wanted to start a thread. I doubt what I say will matter to anyone or I'll be believed anyway but worth a shot.
Yes, I was going to post about Amanda the day after the inauguration but I had a recurrent health issue in the early morning (around 4am) that meant I had to stay in bed mostly. So no access to my computer. I had my phone but it would have been a faff trying to use it to start a thread which could wait. It's not like it was urgent to start a thread.
Later when I felt a bit better, I first searched to see if anyone posted about her and found it here. I was reading and nodding (and thinking of posting a comment in agreement) when I read the exchange you had with another poster (my 'predecessor', as you've enjoyed saying) which made me think "Yes, that's true. She shouldn't be 'hidden away' (as I thought then. Already clarified) here. She deserves to be on the main board as well".
I decided to go ahead and start the thread.
So yes I agreed with the poster as I didn't think it was a negative comment. May not have been to your liking but it wasn't negative.
No, I wouldn't have started another one after seeing your thread, had it not been for the exchange.
Yes I would have still started one exactly where I did if I hadn't seen yours.
Still, feel free to call me a hypocrite and thread police if it makes you feel better. I just had to clarify this.
