In regards to this Sub-Forum for collecting Resistance Sermons along with the Eleison Comments, my thoughts on this would be to then archive the "original" Eleison Comments of each week in the Sub-Forum, and then have the discussion on it in the main headline page.
Specifically, the reason for this idea is that the discussion of Bishop Williamson, as a Catholic Bishop standing up for Tradition, what he does, and what he writes about is extremely important, and harmonious, to everything else in headlines page of the Resistance itself.
As his writings are diverse in topics, and poignant at times with new information that needs to be analyzed and discussed, it gives us the opportunity to know what to do and which way to turn.
Therefore, by bringing back the discussion of the Eleison Comments to the main page, it will keep all of the important discussions together; not fractioned in different places.
Is this an idea open to others also?
The archive of the "original" Eleison Comments in the Resistance Sermons
sub-forum is a great idea because then they will be easy to find in the future.
At apparent odds with this is, as you say, Machabees, that the discussion
of each EC when it comes out seems to be more lively when it's in the
SSPX-Rome Agreement forum instead of in the Resistance Sermons
sub-forum.
When members contribute comments more, the discussion has a chance of
growing faster and being more useful.
At the same time, Matthew wants to cut down on the server load by keeping
the forum "lean and mean."
It seems to me that all these things can be achieved by having, like you
suggest, Machabees, the "original" Eleison Comments posted in its own
new thread in the Resistance Sermons sub-forum, so long as the OP has a
link which takes viewers to the other thread in the SSPX-Rome Agreement
("main") forum where the discussion is going on. (Alternatively, one locked
thread could be established and "pinned" in the Resistance Sermons
sub-forum, where the "original EC" posts are at least linked. They could
be re-posted there (a duplicate of the OP in the main forum), so then
a reader could see one EC after another, or, installments like GREC I,
GREC II, GREC III, etc., could be grouped together. But this would add
administrative burden to the mods or someone who they appoint to the
tasks.)
Likewise, whoever opens the discussion thread in the SSPX-Rome
Agreement forum should include a link there in the OP to the "original
EC thread" in the Resistance Sermons sub-forum.
It might even be possible to have an automatic subroutine in the software
that makes that all happen automatically. But it that might not be in
keeping with the low server load precept. This is just a hunch, and I could
be wrong.
But since it is highly unlikely that anyone will be interested in posting a
link to the "other thread" in the OP of each new EC thread, nor are the
Mods looking for more tasks to perform on the weekend every time an
EC comes out, the whole idea has little chance of working out, unfortunately.
It seems to be too much to expect.
The ECs could be given a free pass, inasmuch as they'd be the lone
exception to the rule that duplicate threads would not be allowed. But
that's going to be a decision that Matthew will make, or, not...............
