To unlink the 'good' response from a junk thread, click the Move Message
choice, then "move" it to your own board! If you have a surname board,
type

surnames.yourboardsurname

in the box. Be sure to use all lower case. For the localities or topics
boards, you can do the same thing, copy/pasting

localities.northam.states (etc.) or

topic.whatever-20-the-20-topic-20-is

or browsing to your own board. Click submit, and the message will now be
'on its own' on your board.

Good luck,

Valorie
