[wp-hackers] sticky posts plugins

[Carthik Sharma]

Oops! My bad, but maybe it would have been better to build upon
something than from scratch, is all I meant.

The names "Adhesive Plugin" and "Sticky Posts" threw me off, I'm sorry
for that mixup.

I was just saying it would be nice to ask if something already exists,
on this list, before starting to work on it.

>Useful, but not as
impressive as what the other one does - lists the last X unique posts
with the newest comments.

The two I am talking about do the same thing, pretty much.
