I first saw this last night when I came on the forum for a different reason and because I was tired decided to leave it until today to respond so that I could be sure that my response was as balanced as possible. As a result I'm not going to say some of what I think I would have but I too am at a loss to understand the fuss about challenge cards being any different to others being shown and very much feel that if a single thread (which I would prefer not to see) is decided upon that it should be for ALL cards that day and not just challenge cards. I understand the way both Wendy and Cynthia are feeling about this because I feel it too and it saddens me.

Also, it seems that some people have been missing the discussion threads that we used to have more of but this puzzles me - why not just start one? I've been left with the impression that for some people it's either/or and that there isn't room for both discussion and challenge threads so therefore the challenge threads have hijacked the forum and pushed the discussions off - as far as I'm concerned nothing could be further from the truth and would think that it's down to each of us to start threads we want to see.

I sincerely hope that I haven't offended or upset anyone with this response because to do so is most certainly not my intention.
