"I guess that to please Joe we'd have to agree that caption threads, obits, and news clips should all be posted only in the MOAB thread?

From experience, I recommend you not do that. The few folks who post there alot have rather rigid rules (you have to sort throuth thousands of posts to find 'em, if you haven't been posting there for a decade, ofr so) on what not to post...and will remind you of it. News clips, nor captions would not be accepted lightly, and you would be told so.I am not sure about obits?

However, if you have poems (it helps if they are about the sea), lots of stories about chimps, William Shatner or Shane McBride, or get excited about reaching OOO thread numbers...you would feel much at home amongst these thread kin folks....and some complain about a few caption posts taking up too much thread-space.
