I'm sure I'll be reamed, since this is not a full on diary. My apologies for my small effort in addressing something here.
But this is the point of my question. Isn't there a place where chit chat can happen, questions posted, without full on research filled long diaries to have to make?
Sure, I'll make this look more like a diary..paragraph two.
Surely there are others that would like to be able to just post a question, and see what answers pop up? Sometimes a brief statement is desired to be made, without having to pull up Google and get all deep about it, and create a fantabulous diary. Those quick exchanges, and chatty dialogues have been fun and helpful for me in other places in times past, but with DKos community, I've yearned to ask questions, but know I can't make a diary out of a simple question. I can't imagine I'm alone in this. Many times I've had questions and no place to post them, cause the front page moves so fast, and then you have to follow it in the mix of hundreds of dialogue posts, track it as it moves on, try and get answers in a hard to find way...
Or, there is no diary that matches the issue of the question, because it's off topic, and god knows doing that off topic thing is forbidden and panned widely.
Have I missed a boat? Does something like this exist for the Daily Kos site already? Is it easy to do? Am I the only one who would like this?
I figure it's up to Kos too, isn't it? Well, just wanted to put that out there..maybe he'll think about that.
Thanks!
