I'm glad to see the support for Jinn and hope that it continues, but it has come to my attention that I neglected to clearly establish the theme for this thread.

As some of you are aware, I have obnoxiously attempted to drag two or three threads that have gotten sidetracked back onto their original themes and, given the opportunity, I'll probably do so again (and y'all can feel free to ignore those attempts). To try to make up for that, I intended to set up the Pillar of Truth as an "open" thread, where there would be no set topic, just a place for people to gather in the Forum and declaim the Truth. Unfortunately, I neglected to SAY that...

Oh, well. You live and you learn. The Pillar of Truth is not my own invention, but a concept that I have appropriated (read "stolen") from the comic strip B.C. At the time I came up with the idea, I had not seen it in use for several years. Of course, it appeared in today's paper. *sigh*

At any rate, compliments to Jinn (or anyone else) are always welcome here, but members who simply need a soapbox on which to stand for a moment may find the Pillar of Truth to be equally convenient.
