150. Thanks, Skinner. Just a thought --
a thought which is probably of little use, but here it is anyway. One of my guilty pleasures is some of the more frivolous posts in GD. I'm wondering if there might be some way to divide GD into two sections similar to newspapers: hard news, and features, fun, gossip, etc. It would take some getting used to, but if you wanted to post Tweety's latest abomination, you would do it in the "features" GD forum (and generally, I admit, I would be interested in reading it). Serious discussions, for example, of the fitness of a new Supreme Court candidate would be in the main GD forum, as well as the fine research and analysis many DUers produce. I would hope a features-type forum would not be another Lounge. The same kinds of threads that are currently in the Lounge would remain there.

This might prevent people from having to choose and hide so frequently.
