Edited on Tue Jan-15-08 07:21 AM by Dover
I love this forum and like to peruse all the stories posted here as often as possible. But I get frustrated that it moves so quickly that there's little opportunity to read it all or dig in for any discussion. Here today, gone in two hours or a day. I feel like I miss a lot of it, but then am overwhelmed by all the fresh new postings that I also would like to read, so generally just stay on the first page of the forum and don't search through the others pages. Maybe others have a similar experience.

So I'm wondering if it would help slow things down, without sacrificing the number of stories,
if those who post stories here in volume were to consolidate them into one or two threads each day with just a headline or an intro paragraph and link for each story? Kind of like what is done with the daily 'stock market watch' in LBN.

Then one could just open a post and scan all the headlines at once, and bookmark that list of stories to read later if necessary.

Or would that hamper discussion with so many stories in one thread?

What do ya think?
