So there you are... walking along, when suddenly you come to a big wall... and written all over it are ideas... ideas for threads.

Along the way, most posters have some questions. Many of the questions have easy answers, but sometimes you meet one that looks like a mountain in your path.

One of the biggest mountains can be described this way. Let's say we're writing a post. First we choose a forum. Now here comes the mountain. Which posting styles are available in this forum... and how do they flow from one to another in ways that sound good?

These questions are very easy to ask, but it took me years to understand what I wanted to know. Now I can explain some of what seemed mysterious to me then. If you are asking questions like these, this web thread may help you to understand more quickly. Have fun!

Here's lookin' at you, America!



This past weekend, I treated myself as well as my sister and my friend to a rather sweet indulgence. For anyone who grew up loving "hair bands", Bon Jovi was the ultimate hair band. Now, some 20 years later, the band doesn't quite have that 80's hair (most of you probably are saying Thank God!), but they still put on a great show. As I explain it, Jon Bon Jovi is the only man above 40 legally allowed to wear leather pants in public.

This post suggests that the origin of life was a natural event. Because this view undermines the whole point of most religions, readers are encouraged to ban this post along with the author.

A well-designed thread is a pleasure to the family, enhances a community and adds to the forum's resale value. Thread design involves much more than placing jokes, images and other photoshops on the property. It is an art which deals with conscious arrangement or organization of viewable space for human satisfaction and enjoyment.



Though listeners may experience a thread as one long progression of pleasing words, each post is actually a series of various parts, some of which repeat at different points in the thread.

When Life gives you lemons...make lemonade!!

_{This post is an educational resource that describes the science behind volcanoes and volcanic processes. The post is sponsored by NASA under the auspices of Project ALERT (Augmented Learning Environment and Renewable Teaching). It is intended for the education of university students of geology and volcanology and teachers of earth science. Each section in the post builds upon previous sections. For users who lack fundamental knowledge of volcanological principles and terms, it is best to proceed through the post in a progressive manner. More advanced users will find each section self-contained and can navigate through the thread as their interest dictates.}
