After thinking about it, Les' point is valid & "general" sounds good to me. I agree all forums should contain an element of discussion.

Yet, I think some of the long discussions (often with 20 or more posts) by insiders are confusing for newbees. I think my level of comprehension is above average but about half of these long discussions leave me behind. I believe these discussions create a positive synergy on the board but often they are not related to “starters”, “scripts”, or “suggestions”, etc.

But, I don't consider this a big issue. I like the board the way it is now but I think NTDoc's suggestion has merits.
