Starbase,
You have the best homepage I've seen on FR.
It should be it's own permanent thread with examples and principles accumulating.
Some of the ones we need to look out for are the ones where we are inarticulate and destroy ourselves with our own words.

Well thank you, that's very nice of you to say. It has been posted as a thread twice. Once originally
here as a vanity, then I forwarded it to a web site called StrategyPage.com (with 300,000+ monthly views, not bad), they printed it (it's now in their Information Warfare archives) and then it was re-posted
here and gained much more prominence as a non-vanity! (go figure)
That led to my article
Who's Controlling The Propaganda In The Media?, which also was fortunate enough to get a decent amount of feedback.
As far as a continuing thread, well I've talked about ping lists and that sort of thing, and there was a media group on FR long before I got here, I met many of them and am friends with them, but we all found that the public appetite for this sort of thing is not a day to day type thing.
Rather it's a read once, change your viewpoint sort of thing. So I just trawl around with the hook in my tag line and I've slowly watched the visits to these posts rise, sometimes nothing in a week and sometimes by a hundred or so in one week. It seems to work OK, but I think a constant central thread wouldn't be used much, based on my experience.
But thanks for the compliment, and if you have any promotional ideas please let me know.
Cheers,
