Silly Question

What is the DYK thread?  I assume DYK = Did You Know or something like that, but I'm not sure what it is, why everyone keeps talking about it, and why it is so important to not be caught up on it (the last time I saw it, it had quite a few posts in it, but I haven't seen it in a while, so it looks like it hasn't been posted to in a while).


I'm guessing since it is a popular thread, it might be a good idea for the post-off...  but I'd love to know what it is :)


Thanks!

DYK- Stands for Do You Know / Did you know


It's just a running thread of a mish mash of topics that is started each month.

The best I can explain the DYK thread is that it's a thread for random thoughts, venting, chatting, etc.


I'm sure that thread will see a lot of posts on the 23rd, but it sounds like all posts that day will be counted so that things don't get lost and questions get answered.


As for staying caught up with the DYK posts, it really isn't necessary, but it can be helpful in following *ongoing storylines*


Anyway, take a look there and post as little or as much as you want to.


BTW -- there's no such thing as a silly question (although the dyk posts do get silly at times)

Every month the title changes - but it always starts off with DYK and can be found in the Phase II area.

It's also a place where we really get to know each other and it's a great community builder.

The only thing that Sheila missed was to tell you that "swooping" is stealing a favorite/important number post.

Nope, I'm an executive secretary, not a cliff note writer - but then again they could be one and the same, taking meeting minutes etc...
