Hello; I just checked new posts and none of the threads I am following are active right now. Got me to thinking about past threads and how they often just stop. The sort of thread where an OP has some issue or question which we go round and round about for a time and never find out the outcome.
Sort of like Don Henley's love affairs that stop on a dime.

Since we cannot know what the real outcome was unless and until the OP comes back, perhaps we can make up our own endings and outcomes. An example over the last few months was the member with poor source water whop started a few threads. ( maybe giar) I happened to read one of his newest threads a few days ago about his getting a RO unit. This is a very good outcome and we have a resolution.

For many threads we never find out. Did the sealed tank leak? Did the floor hold the weight? Did the tank ever cycle? Did the ich treatment work out? Did the methylene blue crash the cycle? Did we ever pin a nickname on hendre?

This is likely a weak idea but describe a hanging thread (maybe a link ?) and I will try to predict the outcome of the first one.
 
I've been fortunate lately to have offered advice, the OP's have taken the advice and a few days later updated the thread with the outcome. Love it when it works that way! I've been involved with threads in the past where it seems the OP didn't get the answers they wanted to hear after I spent a serious amount of time explaining things in detail, only to never hear an outcome. Hate that.

hello; been involved in those threads also. Seems some OP's create a problem or something goes wrong and they just do not want to learn that there is no magic simple solution.

I think some people just come for the information they want to get or just want to hear and then move on. I'm pretty bad at keeping my own threads updated

Did we ever pin a nickname on hendre?
Doesn't seem so

I thought that the agreed upon name was asparagus?
 
I think I might change my sig to "Where is Mr. Bigglesworth?"
 
Hello; Yes that is right. I forgot. Very clever Hendre trying to throw us off asparagus.
You gotta get to an admin then lol :p
