EvC has endured throughout the past 17 years as a depository of the collective thoughts, beliefs, and opinions of its members. Our archives contain a lot of junk, spam, and useless argumentation, but they also contain some valid topics, ideas, and opinions by all of us. With that in mind, I am undertaking a project of my own design. I will reintroduce some of our more popular topics by presenting them in a format known as REMIX. Whenever a topic gets suggested, it will differentiate itself from the original topic by the word REMIX prefacing the topic title, as well as a mention of the original author. In order to accomplish this, I will be going through our archives and selecting topics that were popular and that were informative and entertaining. I will only recopy the topic starter post (and any relevant followup in the authors own words) and allow the discussion to begin afresh on these topics.
Of course, these topics will go through the usual PNT process before they are ultimately promoted, unless I add a synopsis post to the original topic. Comments?

I'm still trying to work out the logistics and particulars. One challenge is that a topic may originally have a wek opening premise or post and later on, due to introductions by another member or further elaborations by the topic starter, it begins to take off. Another observation is that some topics, though apparently popular, were dominated by one or two members and are not necessarily interesting. I may need to do my homework before suggesting a topic, and a summary is a good idea.
It would be interesting to compile an index by poster and forum category.
Sounds difficult. How would i do that?
