If a contingent of the younger folks feel it might be a good idea to try (and hey, if it doesn’t work, can always go back)…separate for a few months..that is fine..

With the exception one maybe two younger folks, based on what I’ve read in this thread tonight, most are adamantly against a separate thread.

I have REALLY tried hard to make this a friendly thread

And you have been doing a great job of it!!!

I am one of those who likes themed openings

Personally, I think the theme idea seems to get in the way of starting the thread. I could be wrong, but I suspect that you would have a lot more volunteers to post the thread if we didn’t have to come up with a theme. To me, it feels like having to turn a report in at the end of the week.

I would be upset if a married guy came to the thread & was hitting on the single younger gals...

Agreed, this is why I think we should keep it a mixed thread including the married folk (chaperones).

If we keep the thread intact I guess some of us will just have to find other outlets to discuss walker & wheelchair maintenance; wrinkle cream & social security benefits?

yes, we have always stressed that hosts can keep it very simple with just an open the door post. The themed threads are for those who have interests to share or on special holidays/events.

Taking turns with the hosting/pinging shares the responsibility & helps people to get to know the host. I had hoped that people would share their intersts when it was their turn.. so we get to know them better..It does not have to be fancy.

I sweated bullets the first dozen or so Finest threads I posted & now & then still have a terrible time w/formatting.

a disney thread would be a natural for you...
