if the admins are gonna make a permanent 'fallen AH family' sticky ...
i recommend a link of the Ric thread to be put in it, and then the Ric thread unstickied after a certain period of time so we only have one sticky up there.
perhaps, instead of a moderator thing, the admins can make a special title only for Ric and other fallen AH families.
(sorry, security purposes, since Ric's PW is available to his caregiver)
