Dear Mods,
Would it be possible to encorporate into the SS forum a way for a member to create a farewell thread that would post itself at some set time in the future? I have not been here long, but I have seen a recurring theme of people wanting to let others --at home and of this community-- know that they have successfully crossed the bar. Being able to build a thread, an "Echo," that would post in, say, 48 hours, would allow us to say farewell --and yet to return and delete that Echo should we discover, when the moment comes, that it is not yet the right moment to CTB.
Such a time delay would be imperative, of course. Not just to prevent others from interfering with our intended departures, but also so that no one who creates such an Echo feels any pressure from it: they can always return and delete it before it posts, no false alarm needs to be inflicted, no one ever needs know the exact timing of our plans, or whether our plans have changed in that last, critical moment.
Is this possible?
And for the others posting here, I am a rank newbie here, and I do not mean to speak for all of us with any authority, only to express what I have seen. So I ask you all as well: is this something others here would like?
