Maybe once a week I could start a thread asking about topics and issues that myself and many others are not too familiar with that we should be.

So do just that... you'll never be rid of joke replies- such is life and FR. Have a question? Then post a vanity. I can't help you with establishing a pinglist for this kind of thing, but don't be afraid to join someone else's pinglist, especially on a subject you want to learn about.

One more thing- I don't know if this is when you usually post, but when posting your "Help Me Understand" vanities, you might want to consider doing it at a time other than 1:35 AM Eastern saturday morning- both to get more traffic and because worthless replies are more common at night. Speaking of "Help Me Understand" it might be a good idea, if you choose to do regular vanities requesting viewpoints, information, etc., to use a regular title for them- a regular title might attract a regular following.

Hope this was somewhat helpful.

Unless of course your question of the day is “Why is it Friday night and I’m sitting at home and my only friends are Freerepublic and the adult beverage sitting next to me? Why am I so lonely? How come I can’t get any work done?”

Of course, not sure if any of US will know the answer!

(Agreed - I think just perusing the topics and asking questions is good, with a vanity thrown in once in awhile as the next step. Good luck!)

hy am I so lonely,
