Title: 25,000 topics
Post by: bobm on August 24, 2023, 08:38:58
Just noticed we have topped 25,000 topics.

Some, including this one ironically, are purely trivia which fade over time but many have become a lasting resource.  We have catalogued hopes, plans, failures, progress, floated ideas and informed each other.  (And we’ve had a bit of fun along the way!)

Here’s to 50,000.

Ah but it’s the quality not the quantity that counts.  Some topics are more informative than others.

Never mind the quality. Feel the width. :P

Me too.

Sadly, the chocolate bar with a hazelnut in every bite is no more. Mars Inc. discontinued Topic in 2022.

Now what was the name of that series about the rag trade that this quote came from?
