2. The work for the mods of either deleting an entire thread, or more likely remembering to 'close' it...could be problematical.

3. If some good info comes up in a daily thread, but that thread disappears...then it will never show up in a search.


Anyway, one good thing about it...there's now 3 people in this thread.
The hardest part is coming up with a topic for a new thread
How about his idea for a thread----it's named "Speaking of" in order to participate you have to change the direction of the thread. For example:
My father was a kind man but he had a temper. When my sister and I were young he burst in the kitchen angry at himself. He asked us if we seen his glasses.
We were motionless. He left to look in the garage. They were on his head. I said to my sister I'm not going to tell him, you tell him. She didn't want to tell him either.
[is this a true story?]

Speaking of:[any story would work about fathers, garages, glasses, tempers, sisters, kitchens] as long as it goes in a different direction. And then someone else would start a new story. and also ask
[is this a true story?]

To take it to the next level we could ask the readers if it's a true story or a made up story.
