As a side note, does anyone notice the commentary about conducting non-stock threads in any manner the chairperson sees fit? I was already leaning this direction back then. Actually, long before then. That and a couple of other posts were drafted up as Word documents long before I was even offered the job.
The upshot is, like it or not, if I'm at iHub, stock threads are going to be held to an even higher standard than they were/are at SI. The loosening of rules and my hold on non-stock threads is a counterbalance to the higher standards I'm imposing on the stock threads.
Now is this playing the iHub rules. Seems another contradiction to me because what you are proposing since last night is a total 180* turn ...
