    This is for real.

    On a largely American, largely-RV-oriented Forum I belong to, I have a friend and Admin from Oklahoma, who is leading a group of folks and their Motorhomes up to a summer-long trip to Alaska.

    Anyone else find the "check-marks" useless?

    The marks, which are supposed to tell you if there's any new material in a thread, don't do so half the time. Or they WILL show as new stuff, when there isn't any! Must be made by Chrysler....
