Hmm.

I have been having mixed feelings lately.

I understand it is Howard's job, but I disagree with the fact we have to make a whole new thread, in the appropriate category, then place a link in the lounge.
After all the link would be linking to an off-topic post, which would mean it should in theory also be deleted. But the whole reason the link and other thread would be there is to show the Lounge members, which is essentially a large group of buddies. After all, it seems 95% of the off topic posts in the lounge only got 1-2 replies anyways.

Just my $.02
