Yes, but be aware that if you have a CRT monitor with an anti glare coating, that the sticky glue has enough grip to rip the coating off when you remove it.

Guest David B. Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Re: Is it possible ............... There is no such thing for this forum. The closest thing would be to set you computers date far ahead of the actual date, those that view by date would see it at the top until that future date arrives, that would also get you added to most everyone's kill file for doing so, so that and any future posts by you would be blocked from us, so don't do it. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 How to Post http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm _________________________________________________________________________________ "b11_" <b11@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4D063394-1118-4BFD-975A-6454A42BB550@microsoft.com... > Is it possible to put a "sticky" post here?

Yes, I know that which is why I specified Web based forums.

Newsgroups are called "newsgroups" for historical reasons that no longer matter. They have nothing to do with news, but are typically places for questions and answers, as well as group discussions.
