Hi all, Quick note to say that I'll be on vacation starting this Saturday, 7/30 through Tuesday, 8/9, which means I'll be back to normal on 8/10. As before, I'll continue to be on pager, monitoring

I am not on GMF and haven't read the archives, but I trust Shal's judgement in running that group and have no issues with him running a group that is sanctioned by us. You do bring up a good point,

The more I ponder it, the more I feel that Topics view feels better than threads view. You create a new topic so you should see "topics". And yes, people may know what a thread is, or they may
