I see your point DD, and have been thinking about this myself.

What, in your opinion, is the problem with someone starting a large number of threads in a short time?

And then I'm not talking about duplicate threads, or spamming, but "legitimate" threads, in the sense that they raise a valid question, or contain a good topic of discussion?

I've got some ideas of my own around this, bu...

Coney Island:: LND - what others have said about the show, Discuss and review the reviews from other sites here.
The original review thread was intended for personal reviews, but has branched out into discussions also about reviews posted elsewhere. Which is great, since only a limited number of actual posters here so far had seen it.

But this has also meant that the direct discussions with people who have seen it and what they thought of their experience has got a little los...

THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE. It's a documentary about VOGUE magazine and is very much like a real-life DEVIL WEARS PRADA. Heck, Anna Wintour's (editor of VOGUE) assistant even resembles Anne Hathaway in some measure.

It was a fascinating insight into the magazine publishing world. Jeez, they waste a TON of money on photo shoots that wind up not being used at all.

I, too, duet with myself. I usually use my head/mixed voice for Christine and my lower chest voice for Erik.
