We could solicit suggestions for a theme idea for that day, or next day, even, so you wouldn't get stuck with the brain in "theme park" every day--before coffee. Aargh!
But the "theming" would be fun, I think. Needs to be loose. Bearing in mind that sometimes it's true that the best discussions are those threads that emerge spontaneously from something else.
My point was not to criticize how it's done, but when it's done. The time window for me tends to be early, since once the poppets get up around seven, --it's likely over. it would seem that's likely a common situation. Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.

That's you in Paris. How about the Americans? And how about people who join the salon from work as opposed to from home?
Which is why I said upthread that if we need to post a new open thread every 8 hours to make sure we cater to everyone we can do so. When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
Perhaps just opening up a page with a theme, and/or a couple quotes (as you sometimes do)

what do you mean by "theme park"? I just collect information available at the internet - and sometime themes just develop. However, I just don't have the time currently to do that in the morning. For me the problem is the time, especially in the morning and I just don't see my self getting up even earlier.
"Theme Park" was a humorous (or not) way to point that out- unfair for you to have to Park the brain in theme mode every day-- when others might be willing to help.
We play with words a lot in the Miller household-"Pilsnerd" was my 10-year-old daughter's idea for my imaginary bilge-brewed beer, for example. May be some insight there? Aimed at me, Helen.
Right now, the "Klatch" part typically draws less news-oriented comments, and more personal stuff. I sort of like that. Again(again)((again)), this was never intended to be a criticism of HOW or WHAT, but just WHEN--and with some ideas to offer.
In my original; comment, in two places, I think, I pointed out that I was not attacking, and that I was (am) well aware and appreciative of your work.
As for a daily diary,-- That's why we have a front page,(and front pagers) -is it not? I have neither the time nor the interest (or the dedication) to do Fan's job. Not all differing ideas need to be taken as personal criticisms. Not intended--just suggestions. Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.
