When a post is made to Comments on Cecil’s Columns that does not apply to one of his columns, it’s moved to another board. Ditto for Comments on Mailbag Answers. But when someone asks a question in one of the other columns that was answered in one of the columns, it never seems to get moved. Even when someone else posts a link to the relevant column.
