i dont think i would be able to make it into a sticky i will talk to dave sponaugle when the time comes but what i could do is make it a tech article,which i have been thinking about doing and compiling a bunch of tech articles into one thread and making it a sticky but i do have to talk to dave about it first he is kinda the head guy in the idi forum still.

A lot of this stuff doesn't necessarily need 'stickied' as long as folks know where and how to locate it. Also sometiems some editing of thread titles and tags can help a lot too.
