i think discussion thread is good idea
becuase i can understand people get so excited and want to share with evryone and ......that way many people open many threads than it become difficult for other curios people to read all posts to know something
and that way unfair to the person who does update because the person who does update take out free time from their personal time and spending their energy and great effort do update so other people can enjoy
and without appreaciating that effort people ...jsu tbecome impulse and write about epi in detail ..that wash out updaters entire effort
so if we have discution thread those who only want to read update won't go to that thread adn those who are curiouse will get only glimpse.......of it
and will save lots of net space also
that's my thinking
