make sure pinned notes are read

[joe_bain]

Why not make pinned notes compulsory reading
before someone enters a new section
his would cut down "why not port this blah blah"
which is really annoying especially in the wishes section

We did a scheme where any 'why not port this' topic was renamed to something like 'PORTS REQUIRE SOURCE CODE' and pinned. When we had about six of them, the requests stopped. Unfortunately that obscures the real topics.

Therefore my suggestion, since people never read pinned topics, is: pin all the topics EXCEPT the pinned ones, which shall be unpinned. And the people were enlightened.
