I like the idea. Most of the time, the threads started in other sub forums dont provoke much thought/introspection. They also tend to constitute random ramblings and discussions get sidetracked. I think this sub-forum should be heavily moderated to the extent that if it does not contribute to the idea, the post should be removed immediately. It should be such that the person posting should really have worked on it and not just post some personal untested idea.
I like "Editorials" under Pro Shop. I hope I will be good enough to post replies on there in a few years but till then, I will just lap everything up quietly and go to work on it.
