HISTORY
------------------------------------
This is V2 - I guess either threads get archived when they get old, or they need to be posted to every so often to avoid expiration. Either way... I'm reposting this and will try to do better to keep updating it
The old thread got archived... I guess threads just get too old or maybe you have to update them every so often...
When I first came up with this I thought maybe it could eventually become semi-official... maybe be stickied or whatnot. That didn't happen for very good reasons. As I'm working on this new revision I decided that there is a benefit hidden in the it being totally unofficial and that is that I can choose to add more stuff without having to be you know... "uber-objective" .... to that end I will be adding more references to threads that I found particularly interesting, or inspiring and by this I mean image threads... and i will no longer feel like i"m playing favorites
I also plan to add a couple of categories, such as Show off Yo Stuff - for product showoffs and whatnot. If you think a thread should be included, please post in the thread and give me a link to it... I will consider it for inclusion, and even if I don't include it... it will be here for others to see anyway.
Ciao!
Alessandro
