I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems a waste to start a thread for just one link. The BP thread could have been added to a previous BP discussion - or it could be used to encourage people to post other BP links.

We get a lot of these one-link thread initiations, usually with no discussion - just a link and nothing more. Same with all the "cute" links we get to start a thread. There's only so much you can say about a single puppy video - why not have one thread that's a little more inclusive, that will allow people to add new cute puppy video links when they're discovered? It makes the difference between a throwaway thread and a thread that lasts for a while.
Grumble, grumble.
