Could we be more organized with F/911 posts?
Don't mean to be nitpicky, but there are plenty of threads already open to add your comments to report on seeing the movie.

Do we really want a new thread for every theatre in the country? heh.

Maybe a couple threads for more lengthy, serious reviews and a couple few others for chitchat. What do you think?

It's going to be all f/911 madness on these boards later tonight. :)

2. I agree to a point
But I'd MUCH prefer a thousand F911 threads to the thousand Reagan threads of two weeks ago.

I stayed away from DU for five days.

8. actually, it is a fascinating research tool
Raygun = x number of threads with x1 number of posts
Nader announcement = y threads, y1 posts
Dean scream
botox
Clinton's book

take a look about what we talk about.
be thankful for all the threads, we have a viable topic

11. Exactly ! Agree...
... completely. We've had very little reason to "party" in the last three years and this is one weekend when chaos should prevail and the board nannies should retire to the back room. A good party is never "organized."

18. No one is suggesting that people shouldn't have their say.
What some people (me for one) are suggesting is that using a little more discipline (and a little less ego) might result in a somewhat more compact structuring of the discussion... and that this might not be a bad thing. For me, it would actually make it easier to read all the comments. Now things get buried so fast that it is hard to follow any discussion much less find and follow the non-F911 threads.

And no, this isn't about me, this is about using the commons. You put the aluminum cans in the box labeled "Aluminum" and you put the cat shit in the box labeled "Shit". Just because your neighbor was the one who labeled the box that says "Glass", this doesn't mean that you shouldn't use it. And just maybe, just maybe, your neighbor should have looked around for other boxes labeled "Glass" before he labeled his.

Like I said the first time... Not a chance!

Bumpity-bump. Bumpity-bump.

15. Nah. Because everybody has a slightly different take.
The resulting discussions are going to be different.
