when we find a post that has that certain, "Je ne sais qua", or if it is felt that the information so skillfully obtained and posted, and that information is vital, or at the least, of possible interest, to other members, then the Mods can make the post sticky. It's one of our many tricks.
In your case, it must have been an error! ![]()
