The update threads appear to have a useful life of about three days. I don't think Olegs pays much attention after that.

It would be nice to know if Oleg has a two or three day window in which he looks and answers. One of my frustrations has been that I don't even know if he's read my questions. If we knew he would not be looking/answering after, say, day four the moderators could be hard nosed up to that point then let the rest of the members get on with it. They die with the next update anyway.

I have learned the hard way that those threads fan out in all directions after a few days and 'Topic' becomes irrelevant. I'd just let them run after that as there purpose ages out very quickly.
