I think if we were to make this a sticky we'd have to filter out a lot of the 'noise' which, paradoxically, is what keeps people coming back to the topic. Like the current 'A question for the Professionals' sticky thread, it would stagnate and effectively become invisible.
What I think I might do, if I get some time over the next week or two, is create a sticky post with links to the most repeated topics, including this one. If I could make it compulsory for all Wannabes to read all the linked threads, I would!
