I find the sub-forums quite useful, myself, and would venture to say that many others do as well; so I don't have a problem with them on that level. I do agree, however, that the idea of a "clean-up" is worthy of discussion. I'm not sure how much trouble this would be for Brian or Dave, but it might at least be an option for consideration. (Of course, if it is a hassle, it isn't likely to happen, either.) And, if a writer's work does suddenly experience a resurgence of interest, then how to handle that can be discussed at that time....
