Subject: RE: Creating Inspiring Threads vs Inertia
Bushels catch fire that way don't they?

About the only thread I can remember starting was one about cheese... And a couple chasing songs maybe.

If thefre's anything I'm burning to unburden myself of my feelings and opinions, someone always seems to have started a thread about it anyway. Or there's one that's in the archives that can be revived, whiocyh (assuming it isn't inconveniently long) seems a better way of starting things up again, and makes it more likely that it won't just be going round in the same circle.

But getting back to what Little Neo said at the start - "starting 'what I feel' would be a meaningful thread." Would that be "what I'm fee" about something in particular - or "how I'm feeling" in general? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean? (Only too likely - I can be very obtuse at times.)

Because most threads that aren't about chasing a song, or just people larking about are essentially threads starting "this is what I feel about X Y or Z" . As for chicken and eggs - if you ever get to see the movie Chicken Run (which I recommend) wait till the very end of the end credits for an intriguing discussion on this very point between two rats. But by then we were about the only people left in the cinema, because most people don't wait till the end of the end credits...(And, in the context of the Mudcat, there are lots of unhatched eggs lying around waiting to be warmed in to life.)
