Joe, I think of that thread more like a bulletin board (the old-fashioned kind on a wall) where one may post cartoons, editorials, short snippets of news, etc. to share with others. I like comments, too, but it seems a good general spot for little bits here and there. If they aren't so little (I haven't been in, recently) then maybe I am wrong in thinking of it that way OR it's a HUGE board!:-)
