You know I went to this thread 3 times this week, and I agree. This is an awesome thread. The points are subtle yet well made, with just the right amount of sarcasm. The writers take the time to provide fresh insights while pulling themes from other threads, offering a new perspective on threads with a comfortable feel.
Yes, I am aware that this thread doesn't have an actual topic. But this thread has a right to be the thread the OP intended. Maybe the OP would like to spend time with his family, and doesn't have time to develop a topic. Perhaps he is focusing so much on the inteligent review of threads in general to spend time pumping out banal information for the masses. What gives us the right to say this thread has to be like all the other threads on LTH, with culinary discussion, pictures of food, and worthwhile information? This thread is exactly what it sets out to be, and it is doing it with thought, care, and a full knowledge of what it takes to make an interesting and thought provoking thread.
So I say this thread does exactly what it sets out to do, while entertaining some and aggrivating others. It is my favorite thread, and obviously a big favorite of the board. If you find yourself unable to enjoy this thread please take your reading elswhere. There will be more room for my posts here!
