but still exceptionally important mainstream news.

The "and other articles" has always seemed an invitation to share focused, well-written, thoughtful other articles which add ideas of real value which might take a little more thought in reading than ordinary General Discussion articles.

For some reason, E&OAs has always seemed to be viewed less frequently, as well as being less accessible, and as the original poster indicated, even taking more separate actions to find.

It would be outstanding to see this forum joining the main forum choices, as it has always contained outstanding, worthy information.

Thank you, BWdem4life.
