WO'N, I liked what you sent me as your reasons for starting this thread, and I copy them here with your permission:
I hope the Best Thread List happens because I think it will be helpful to everybody, have a way of self-policing the integrity of the board, and let newcomers see the level of exchange that goes on at our best moments (just in case they pop-in at one of our worst). That is the premise behind the proposal. You can copy and save that statement to show if anyone asks "why?" I also wish I ahd headed it "The Best Thread List" because it's really not a competition or award!


This isn't one of my favorite threads, but I think it's a good representative one:
