The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

One more point I want to mention, regarding

Msnlobbi has ALREADY CREATED other boards that will address various interests and other OT discussions

I am not sure if this ever finer granularity actually is a good thing. Personally I do not want to have numerous different tabs open, one for each specialised board which might have interesting posts interesting, with the need for regularly refreshing all those tabs and looking at each one. Too much hassle. Far more than having "The usual suspects" discuss at least most things under one roof instead of a dozen "geographically" separated ones.

Especially because there is one inherent problem: This increasing granularity feeds on itself, like a bureaucracy. Bureaucracies forever expand, they never shrink. It's a one-way-street, and even a guy with a chainsaw is dilusionary if he really thinks he can change that, like Don Quichotte in his fight against windmills.

This might go in the same one-way-direction: Ever finer granularity, ever more specialised boards, with simplicity being the victim.
