Change to Sticky Posts

On stock-specific boards each moderator will "control" a single sticky post. Moderators will not be able to remove other moderators' stickies and if they want to add a sticky they will have to remove any existing one they may already have.

Older stickies that were created before we started recording who placed them can be removed by any existing moderator.

We will work on a procedure to prune out the "unassigned" stickies as well as the "extra" ones (i.e., we will purge all but the most recent one placed by each current moderator). No ETA for that; it can be managed manually in the interim.

EDIT: After further review, since there are so many stickies placed by former moderators, we're going to remove ALL stickies from stock-specific boards and let the current mods start over. All sticky posts on stock boards will be removed sometime after the market close on Friday.

Also added is the ability to Hide/Show Stickies on each board; it works the same way as Hide/Show Intro. May be a little buggy on the initial Hide action on a board; we'll fix that.

Kudos to Meatloaf for knocking this out. And, for his thoughts on how to extend the scope of a single Sticky Note.

Anyone who would like a list of their "pre-reset" stickies can send the request to me via PM. Note: We will not be able to list any stickies created prior to 1/12/2012, which should be fine since those were stickied well over a year ago.
