I started a thread with the topic line "Serious Topic" to see if the thread would be hijacked if it was in the lounge. It has not been and the discussion has been a good one. I think it is very easy to have a serious discussion any where on the board if you ask respectfully that it be kept serious.

On the other hand, I fell that having a "Salon" an are for on-topic discussion of matters that concern us would be a great addition. The more options available, the better, in my opinion. We opened the Writer's Corner a few weeks ago and it is going great guns. Some silliness, but a lot of really good discussions about writing and out work that we are involved with.

Would anyone who hangs out in the Lounge be offended by having a "Serious Discussion" section? I would not. I would welcome it and participate in both areas.
