Then we ask, is Pluto more similar than dissimilar to our paradigm. Earth is planet, the moon isn’t a planet, stars aren’t planets, asteroids aren’t, Jupiter here, mars here……characteristics of these planets are a, b, c, d and e.  Pluto has a and b but not c, d, and e.  So is it or is it not a planet – the debate goes on. ~ IS

Hmmm...that has a nice ring to it.  Paul/Paulin would be better.  Supposedly Paul's campaign was eying her early on as a potential VP.  I think Barr's a placeholder.

I like the idea though.  Is there the possibility of having rotating pictures?  I don't think my wife would enjoy me constantly having a picture of Palin up on the computer Grin

Well what I'm thinking is publishing a new one on a monthly (or weekly) basis... so that we could email it out or put it on the front page to bring more people in. It took all of 15 minutes to put it together, so it's not any trouble.  Just pick out the popular topic, and provide links to the forums (or articles) of interest.

I guess I'm looking for an objective response like one of the following:

"this is a good idea because..."
"this is a bad idea because..."
"this could be a good idea only if it were different in this way..."

OF COURSE it is a good idea.
Just look at the survey results in my previous post.
Holy cow man! Do you think I would make stuff like this up?!

It's brilliant.
It's stupendous.
The franchise rights alone will make us all rich beyond our wildest imaginations...well, okay, if not rich will it help us pick up chicks?
In any case, in any case, it's a great idea.
Keep up the fine work. (Goodness knows, I don't know how to do it.)

It has been suggested that I would say "FANTASTIC", so here it is...FANTASTIC!!!  (And yes, I am serious, Peter! Wink)

As for "why", it immediately makes the website feel comfortable and classy like a real magazine (especially with Sarah Palin on the cover!!!) 

Also, it can be used to organize/highlight major topics in a very simple/familiar way.

I don't sense that it needs to get complicated, but I think it is a change well worth trying, especially if it can be done without consuming a lot of time.
