PLEASE split the flu thread into topic.

It's really unwieldy and good info is being lost in there.

This is the OPTIMAL forum for these discussions, but stuff - like the sub-sub-sub thread in there about N95 masks and such is getting lost in there.

If you're going to reply with new information or shift the topic, that's the time to start a new thread. It will make Google indexing work better and will enhance the usability of this forum for all concerned. Threads 400 messages deep are very hard to follow.

Another thought is that the subject can be changed within a thread to keep intrathread topics straight. But that only works if you manually change the topic or reply to specific posts with that subject line. I'll start an N95 thread because I do have a Q.
