sorry if this has been mentioned but..

Did Justine not say somewhere that 'pinned' or sticky threads would be reserved for site related stuff only? Just wondering since Expat's thread is pinned and that seems to me to be a charitable appeal rather than site stuff. And I guess I'm wondering if we're going down that road of making charitable/philanthropic thread 'sticky' (not that it's my site, mumsnet can do whatever they want, of course) then erm, who decides who is deserving of being pinned and who is not?

Sorry if this is a silly question. I've only skimmed the thread iq so I may be talkign bollocks do tell me fk off if so! But I only just came on tonight and it was at the top so I thought I'd ask

(I hope no-one incl EPIS takes offence at this, I am just interested in the answer, it's not that I'm unsympathetic, I absolutely am not)

if you didnt bother reading the specifics then mabey you should let it go even if to save upsetting expats feelings,who nver asked to be pinned in the first place,would go against your so called principles

What?

WWW- If you had posted omitting EPIS's name entirely I don't think anyone would have had a problem with the thread. Including her name deemed the thread insensitive in my eyes and as a result immediately left a bad taste in my mouth to be honest.

I think LL's suggestion of a new thread was a good idea and cannot for a minute think why you can't see this would be better for all concerned?
