You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central
here are some examples of comments that comes to mind:

Yeah, WonderK, I actually kinda like being reminded of your mystery flowers whenever I open this thread.
tyvek, you are right. It's good to hear your expereince and I know in my gut you are right! I need to get into the growth mindset and hire someone to deal with all the crap like locating the name of the Wolf-Gordon rep who I swear I just spoke to last week. Delegating is NOT one of my strengths, but I'm going to have to get over it.
Also, I'm responding here to make sure that my gmail is allowing emails from archinect through...I have to spend some time getting all my computer settings back to exactly where I need them!

good luck lb,
my computer broke down not too long ago and had to reformat on the telephone with an indian technician, step by step. big headache but cleans everything. including everything else..!!
yeah, my problem too, doing everything by myself. but in my mind, if i hire anybody, i have to have continious work, insurance and other employee benefits which renders me to one man operation. i am old fashion that way.
but that might change if all the project that are promised to me brake loose and start. i doubt it though..
a very successfull friend asked me to partner with him. he is got very wealthy clients and few employees. i turned the offer down thinking i don't want to deal rich hollywood types and my retired professor clients are the ones i like.
it is weird but i don't want to become a 'firm'. and it is really hard to make less than somebody who just graduated from school after 25 years..

ok, here's a tip for those of you who don't want to scroll through the whole thread, if you look at the address in the web browser, for example:
then if you change the third to last number in the string (in my example the 200), then that can take you directly to where you would like to pick up the thread at.
for example, because i know that there is now 254 posts on this thread, i might type in 250 to skip to the most recent comments. you'll also notice that the 1st, 2nd, 3rd pages etc. correspond to the numbers 0, 100, 200, etc as the pages correspond to 100 posts each.
by the way, i learned this while dealing with per's very lenghty fancy graphics lovers thread.

Yep Orhan that is exactly right. I swing manically back and forth between thinking it is worth it or not! On the one hand I love that I set my own hours and don't answer to anyone but clients, on the other hand some days I don't want to think about paying myself or the fact that I have no retirement plan currently. Some days being a cog in a benevolent corporation seems like the way to go. Then I get deliriously happy like I was last Friday about getting a potential new job and the money seems like not that big a deal in exchange for "freedom".

Cause really, if you don't have the Stones doing 2000 Man, it just doesn't capture the whole movie. (Another bit of inane Wes Anderson trivia, I got to see a pre-release cut of Royal Tennebaums and the final song was Sloop John B. not whatever Van Morrison song he had to settle for in the theatrical release. Much, much better song to go out on.)

Well, snowi, after rebuilding my hard drive I now have a button on my Google taskbar called "mood ring". When I put the cursor over it apparently it tells me my mood, for example, today the ring is amber and it says "Nervous, on edge, uncertain" which is actually a pretty accurate assessment. Maybe we need an archinect mood ring icon.
Which reminds me if you are in NYC, there are tons of sidewalk vendors in Chinatown who sell mood ring watches - a tiny watch that fits on a finger, and has a mood ring background. They make a really fun and cute gift for a girl! About ten bucks. I wouldn't use them as a wedding ring or anything, but they are fun.
lars, I am very suspicious of posters who have more entries than comments, that tells me they are taking but not giving.
