Lounge threads need purpose now?

[Samw]

I think the point of some off-topic posts is simply to learn about the point of views of other members in our reefing community and look for commonality.

Back around Nov 26, 2001, I thought it was decided that any topic could be discussed in the Lounge. That post is not there anymore but I remember reading it and someone followed up by posting a thread called "ANY Topic..?" to see if it was indeed true.
