Many of us, as new arrivals, found ourselves overwhelmed at the number of posts and threads to sort through. And especially now, with so many threads, time does not permit a lengthy examination of past material. So, to help newcomers and current residents alike, board members have submitted threads they've chosen as some of the best discussions shared on AWAD in each individual's memory. A highlights guide and orientation for those who wish to peruse threads that show the best AWAD has to offer, this list illustrates the many stimulating and sparkling moments of discourse that have made AWAD a special place and kept so many of us around to share in its ebullient chemistry.
