This is the key. Laura, you are so right.
A simple question like:
"What is bugging you lately in the FP world?" or
"Show me the pen that you try so hard to like but just can't" or
"Which vintage brand/model are you liking now?"
... can generate some fun discussions, because what we observe/like/drool/go nuts with/love/hate changes with time.
I tried to come up with these kind of post from time to time, but I think it would work a lot better if others who are far more experienced and creative than I am (Jon, I am looking at you as one of these people) also put out similar questions.
IMHO, don't lament people for coming here just for the Classifieds, it's human nature, very hard to change that. But if they see that the site is lively with fun discussions that they can join, they may want to waste more time here. (heh heh heh).
