I think there's a big difference between making suggestions regarding the overall organization of the board vs. choosing what threads are extraordinary.

It takes a herculean effort just to decide that, for example, Virgin America deserves its own forum. How in the world could a 9-person committee be expected to reach consensus to recommend individual threads in each forum out of the thousands and thousands of threads out there?

I can't think of a way.

But if you have a specific suggestion, I, at least, am all ears!
My vision wasn't so much that this would generate debate about particular threads, but rather T B members would create something of a laundry list of good ones.

But for each thread, given that there are 9 TB members you are bound to hear, oh, 28 or so different opinions about the relative merits of each and every thread. No, really, many TB members have 3-4 different opinions about each and every issue! ;) :D

Seriously though, achieving consensus on a single thread much less consistency across the universe of threads would be virtually impossible.

When you first suggested this, I thought about maybe some standards or guidelines for identifying 'threads of excellence' but even there I can't come up with any rational objective measure.

So.

I understand your goal but I can see no way to achieve it.

Oh well.

Back to the slumber, TB. :D

And back to the OP trying to think up something else in TB or ORP :D

PS - I do read Talkmail & do think it fills the need the OP thinks needs filling.

Cheers.
