I notice that there are a lot of posters in different age groups clustered together in threads. I wonder if there's enough interest to create some age-specific boards here? (I know, and overwhelm Dr Bob still more, but I'm saying it anyway...)
I know that I've felt quite a bit more comfortable in certain threads consisting primarily of those writers within my age group, probably because we have a basis of common experience. Even if it's only that we all remember the same "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?" ad campaign. I've noticed that certain groups of the same posters seem to cluster together, giving each other more support than the group as a whole provides, and wonder if this might be a good option to offer them more stability within the boards? Sort of like the 2000 board, but based on commonality of chronological age, rather than length of "service"?
Pondering, pondering -- when I worked in a big law firm, my favorite attorney was the one who would actually write (cross my heart and hope to die) "Pondering" on his time sheets. Went to the clients that way, too. "15 minutes -- Pondering -- $75" Gotta love those little nuggets of wonder, huh?
