Tell me what you think:

Part of me is tempted to do a progress thread.

Share some of my observations ... frustrations ... areas of success ... and challenges moving forward.

On the flip side ... making a permanent record of it ... even here on the Inside ... makes me a little uneasy.

Not sure I could stomach that.

So I had an idea:

Suppose there was a "limited time only" section ... a place where you could start a thread on the Inside ... and then ... after a month from the original post ... the thread got deleted ...?

30-day threads.

I know, I know ... the trade off is the thread would not be there for "future generations" ... but ... on the flip side ... we might enjoy beneficial discussions that might not otherwise have taken place.

( ... and give INSIDERS one more reason to log on more often).

What do you think?
