Cool idea! Interesting to see what has gotten the action. A good portion of election threads, and then some controversies...

Half the population is under the age of 18. Tanzania's future is NOW...join the 50% campaign!

When threads get too long they intimidate me (also, my computer gets really slow) but it was very interesting to go back and read the diaries that provoked discussion (and even some of the discussion itself).

Thank you.

There is also a pull-down menu at the bottom of every diary, which works only for that one diary and doesn't change your defaults.

And using it kills all the [new] tags in the diary.
