And it’s already been noted: some topics just flare up and seem to take over for a short while. If that becomes regular, we split off a new forum, like Games and Elections. We’ve had plenty of weekly threads about a particular topic (TV series come to mind.) No generalizations, we’ll just see how it goes and make decisions if/when needed. Thanks for reading my Subject Line, like TubaDiva. Now, what’s a girl gotta do to get this asked and answered thread closed? ---
