There is an elephant in the room. When an article comes up about the elephant's tusks or the elephant's trunk or the people the elephant has just stepped on, the discussion ends up being about the whole elephant. I know what you're saying about these threads being repetitive and interchangeable. Its just that the elephant is so big and its parts so connected, its hard to have a limited discussion about only one part of the elephant. But nevertheless that elephant is very important to the larger set of topics that this site is dedicated to! It would be good to have a solution besides not talking about the elephant.
