Science uses peer review to curb the most outrageous notions from getting into print.
In the same spirit, I would appreciate feedback on whether the BBS readers would have interest in a Mindless Thread of the Week Award. This award would go to the single most insipid thread of a particular calander week-this week's SnakeHunt exchange comes to mind. The thread would need to be some length-say minimum five posts-so as not to stifle seemingly silly questions (which may indeed be legitimate). It would, hopefully, stifle the bickering threads which go on ad nauseum to the sole amusement of the participants. Nominations could be proposed and voted upon each Monday. Consistent winners would receive the full recognition they deserve.
What does everyone think?
