As I tried to explain (both at AtA and here in this thread), I didn't alert with the intention of hiding the post. (Edit to add that I've never alerted before...not that I recall...and I was trying to think of how to handle this. I freely admitted right off the bat that I didn't know how to best handle this, and was hoping others would chime in.)

I alerted to get more input, to see how others viewed this situation.

As for your claim as to how this is done, I post a link to any DUers who have an active Wishlist post.

End of story. I do try to give a lead-in rather than offer a blind link, but it's not selective.

In these OPs I only post DUers' (or family of DUers) posts, not all the posts on the Wishlist (because there are people there who are NOT on DU), and I include all active Wishlist posts for DUers at the time of the OP creation.
