As you probably know, I had previously spun off message 1 of the "Proposed New Topic" to become the "open to debate" topic. This is a somewhat clumsy procedure, but can be used to eliminate the superflous(sp?) pre-approval messages. In this topics case, I probably could have just a well given it a "standard promotion".
Well, you have now succeeded in promoting your first PNT, even if it was a "test promotion" to the "PMP" forum. You have also been able to reopen and then reclose a topic.
Going to close this one down, so that it doesn't collect debate.
