	Mister Micawber  +  590279 Fri, 21 Nov 08 01:11 PM . We should keep a complaint box in all police stations. We should put a complaint box in all police stations. No major difference; no minor difference here.  The message is the same. .

	CalifJim  +  590434 Fri, 21 Nov 08 08:28 PM Putting it there is what happens the first time you carry it there and install it in its place. Keeping it there is what happens over time.  By keeping it there, you don't remove it after it is installed in its place.  In the context of those sentences, they both mean the same thing. "put it there" means "put it there and keep it there". "keep it there" means "put it there and keep it there". Each of the verbs can be used to imply both.
