This is a new thing that we're going to give a test run.  If a couple of you wouldn't mind rec'ing this to get it to the top, that would be appreciated.

This will be a permanent open thread that should serve many purposes.  Want to bring up an issue that has nothing to do with current posts?  Do it here.  Tired of constantly scrolling down the front page to see if there are new comments?  Move the discussion to this thread.  

Moreover, this can also act as a thread to all things not MCM related.  Feel free to speak whatever is on your mind (within reason of course).
