Please provide clarification. I have a on-topic news link. A breaking News thread hasn’t been active for a couple days. Does it matter if I happened to be the last poster? It would be inconvenient to bookmark links until someone else posts on the thread. The Ukraine thread is slowing down. It’s winter and there’s another War in Israel. I still check Ukraine headlines a couple times a day. Something important or different happens occasionally. Same thing happened last winter. It’s expected and understandable. Please Advise.

It is absolutely fine to bump a breaking news thread with more news. Thank you for checking. ---
