I don't want to move anything in a non-public forum to a public one as people posted with the expectation of privacy. I suppose we could go back, review the thread, check with all the posters to get their okay to move it, but frankly I'm too lazy to do that and don't like the precedent it sets.

I'm fine with leaving things where they are now as "gay" is not a political party and I'm not one of those reductionists who see everything as political (even if it is) - but if things get unswanky in our discourse with each other, then I have no problem with closing or moving threads.

Of course, it would be silly to comb through a long thread like that for any purpose. I just got so used to posting in it for everyday gay that I forgot it was in the Parking Lot.

It's become the defacto gay thread, so we'll just see if my endeavor at encouraging a non-Parking Lot newfacto gay thread gains any traction. I'll just post my gay stuff in the new gay and see what happens.


I wasn't seriously suggesting we take the actual thread out of the Parking Lot ... just move the discussion out of there going forward, if that happens to work out.
