Within NAT, is there a way to establish a format that encourages extended discussions on a single topic? A build project may take 6 months and a field trial may take 12 months from concept to data. Having all of the threads together would make life easier and encourage this type o f discussion. The format would also enable serious discussions on a single topic. For example, EPA has ruled that pesticide discharge from a field represents a “point source” discharge. A federal court has denied a rehearing request on the issue. Will likely have a big impact on agriculture.

At the same time, a sticky/frozen thread with links to popular topics previously discussed on NAT and of common interest would be useful.
