Gentle Readers
Based on some of the comments, I'm thinking that some of you have just joined our readership. Welcome. We do have a few rules and one of them is to please stay on the topic of the thread . This is mostly so that the tags/labels for the threads are accurate. If a thread gets hijacked by another topic, it then confuses/irritates people who are looking for that topic when they read the comments. There are a couple of ways to get new info/topics out there. One is to write to me and ask for a topic thread. Two is to suggest a topic thread in a comment (but not to start one in the middle of another topic). Three, is to wait for Open Thread Friday. Also, if it's breaking news, put it in but only if it's breaking news. I did do an Open Thread Wednesday last week because there was so much going on. Should we have two open thread days a week? I'm open to suggestions. Just as fair warning, I will go thru and eliminate comments that are off-topic. It's okay if it's...
