Economy and General Discussion

Mish,

I enjoy your new message boards, however there seems to be too many choices to pick from.  At TMF you had established just two:   the polical one and the economic one.   I think that made the readership work.   I have heard from several people who post/used to post at those boards and the feedback that I got was that there are too many boards to pick from.  I would encourage you to think about consolidating the boards back to the successful recipe you had at tmf for just two boards, with an additional "social" board that Seven is attempting to support.  For your consideration, only.  You may get feedback to this request, but the ultimate decision is up to you.   And remember, if there is a particular interest..... say 'metals or real estate.... that starts to overpower the economic board, you can always spin off ONE more board. 

Thank you for the rec feature here... it helps those of us with limited time to focus in on the most rec'ed/valued posts.  I also like the feature that shows how many people stop by to read a particular post/thread.

Best wishes in this year and in the coming years.  I think you have valid contributions to many, many people who are watching the economic landscape.  ~julie

I can (if you want) merge that in with geopolitics and I am considering right now merging mt blog forum back into general discussion but please remember there there are people like  Wayne Owl  (of the FOOL) that complained about how hard it was to find anything of use to him on my board there because of all the stuff on the economy when all he was interested in was metals and energy.

I just created the Uranium board by request of Rien who ironically originally said the same thing as you. So you and (apologies if I am mistaken on this and am confusing a conversation with Rien and someone else) but at least two people (you included) have simultaneously asked for more forums and less forums!

Remember your request for the Seven Forum?

So which is it?
There is no right answer on this. There are only compromises.
So far I am pleased about the compromises made.
The question now is do you want to merge seven with geopolitics and if so does everyone else?

My blog board is easier in a sense because that is my problem but I welcome feedback on that as well.
But there is no way that we are going to see a collapse down to two boards. That would create as many problems as it cures.

Jullie, give me a call on Sunday. I will be around.
Opinions from others on this topic are welcome as well.
