well, let me see.

My hope was that this would be a place for stating opinions (preferably well thought out and carefully considered opinions, unlike the two reviews I wrote last night, for which I ought to apologize *sigh*) or facts, not for asking questions or making suggestions for improvements/modifications.

No, that was not a shot, Moggy. I just meant that there are other sub-Forums and/or threads that are already set up for the asking and answering of questions. Of course, none of this constitutes an actual EXAMPLE, just an explanation. Example follows:

(Hmm. Coming up with an opinion on the spur of the moment is harder than I expected!) (All right, let's try a fact.)

I was surprised by a question I found starting another thread elsewhere in the Forum. The question assumed that most or all of the reader's were living a BDSM lifestyle (whether full- or part-time). I had assumed that most of the people on this site were like me, just readers or casual visitors with only a peripheral connection to the lifestyle. Dabblers, if you will. For me BDSM is a pleasant fantasy, occaisionally indulged in, not a lifestyle. Of course, I'm always surprised when my assumptions wither in the bright light of day.

Well, that's about the best job I can do as far as clarifying my intent as a thread-starter. If it's still too confusing, ignore it as post as you will! Or, start your own thread <smiles>. It's easy. And no hassle at all.
