I suspect you were glad for the former.

A sad confessional, but I have to admit it was both. Much more the former, certainly, but a kid who grew up his whole life with a sick mom and lots of extra responsibilities can't help but feel a bit relieved when it's over.

Nice to know that's possible

No problem. Certain major issues - and this is certainly major - deserve their own thread. I'm glad you started it.

[Prudence]

I find some of those threads to be more like natural conversations and ebb and flow and drift. Sometimes you just want to yammer about something and it's not really worth starting a whole thread over.

Plus, then drift isn't a problem. Like talking about thread mechanics in a ding dong the witch is dead thread.

[scaeagles]

I admit that large threads are intimidating and if I wasn't in on it from the beginning then I typically don't enter it. Too much to catch up on.

But sometimes people just want to post a random thought that isn't worthy of it's own thread.

Surely we don't want a 1000 post limit per thread like another site has?

I tried to steer very clear of saying we "should" this or that. I'm mindful of my -hahahaha- mod status when talking about such things, and the last thing we want to do around here is quash the freeflowingness of the group's marvelousity.

I was just pointing out a potential problem that was raised by Kevy, and which I also feel to some degree ... as - apparently - do others:

On the other hand, scaeagles also had this wise thing to say:

I guess that's the trick then, isn't it? This here thread is a great example of a distinct event that someone deemed threadworthy. I applaud that, but how often will it happen vs. how often someone will not want to tread for the first time into a 28-page thread?


I'm going to see Cars tonight. It's a big, new movie ... Disney related, to boot. But I'm not sure if I'll bother to start a Beatnik thread about it when there's already the All Movies thread over in the Lounge.


Anyways, I's is just sayin'

See, Cars deserves it's own thread. Wathcing Bringing Up Baby may not.
