Thread Name: 'Share this thread'?
Subject: RE: 'Share this thread'?
I've been thinking about why I have said what I have....My basic, 'gut' feeling is... not every clever new gadget, feature, concept, idea, movement, cultural whimsy, cute trend etc. ,ad nauseum needs to be incorporated in a fairly narrow forum. This 'feels' like a nod to the idea that more=better.

I guess I'm now old enough that there is just-too-much going on in life to sort thru and decide about. I am just about to cancel my subscription to the print edition of my newspaper, The Washington Post...ending (I think..for now) a 60+ year habit. I 'think' I can get most of the news and comics in a more readable way online, and piles of newspapers are being tossed out without being read.
So....I admit that my opposition to this new feature 'may' be colored by that general attitude....but it still feels unnecessary.
