While this is back at the top, I'll explain just a bit more. While the thread itself may even be mild by the standard of some we have run lately, the spirit of the thread was what made the difference at that time. Also, it wasn't just the one thread (as it never is)....it was the additional threads that it spawned and it sent the joint into a turmoil and it became almost an epiphany, and certainly a turning point in the history of the 'Cat. Combined with the introspection of the threads this one created collaterally, it was a tough time.

Happier note? Sure....We got a little tougher and it eventually may have turned into a general plus because we were a bit in lala land. And the comeback out of it, what got us on track again, was the first of the tavern threads......a brilliant idea started by Lonesome EJ. Leej popped in with that first tavern and it gave us all a chance to unwind and feel about for a course....much like in 3D.
