Wait, *heartening*? Don't you mean disheartening? I think it's troublesome
that people could miss stuff like that. Maybe we should expand the "top
news" category a little... I mean, I think headlines like the rerelease of
6067 (as 10000) should stay up for a lot more than a week, it would be such
a shame for people who were gone or something to miss a big thing like that.
Maybe we should have a top MOC-related news and top set-related news... I
dunno. I really think that it's really too bad that people go without
knowing this kinda stuff.

Right... but don't you think that's a *bad* thing?

Just my 2 cents (soon to be my 8 agorot)...
