NOTE TO STUDENTS CONCERNED: It has come to our attention that we have a number of new student members here at the Ranch who have been tasked by their instructor to post at least 5 answers in forums like this. We think this is a great challenge and an awesome learning opportunity. However, to minimize duplication and a lot of "Me, too!" replies, here are some threads that we suggest you check out and try to add
meaningful discussion to.
NOTE TO MODERATORS: Please feel free to add to this list of threads. Try to choose topics that may be somewhat challenging and involves having to employ some critical thinking and a defense of opinions as much as displaying accurate understanding of technical issues.
