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.
