The idea of an "Off Topic" section sounds good! For example, I had been thinking for some time of a post asking monks how they found work - particularly short term contract work. But where to post? A moderated cork-board would be most welcome.

One of the greatest things about this site is the community nature of it, something which is missing from so many other types of communities and something long gone from Usenet.

Whatever we can do here to enahnce the community spirit would, I think, be appreciated by many monks.
