Should I pin this thread to the top? I'm thinking that'd be a good idea, since it's constantly updating and isn't just one news item.

2. One of our resident gunthusiasts, already blocked from this group, just sent a SOP alert

Can you believe the nerve of that guy? This group is not for him in any way shape or form yet he's trying to tell me how to run it.

He helped make up my mind. I'm going to sticky this thread.
