Good idea shirazah, but I can't see its usefulness here in this forum. Topics are started as deemed necessary by the members, mostly related to their inquiries about a certain topic. As most topics aren't general "gup shup" type, finding out how many people are viewing this thread just to determine one's interest in it doesn't seem all that handy to me. However, lets see what the big guns have to say about it I do thank you for your thoughtful concern and contribution! Keep it up
