20 pages and 591 replies is a bit cumbersome. So, we'll start a fresh thread and pick up where
the last left off.
Originally started by bcstx06. The broken out list seemed harder to follow and required more scrolling. However, if a development has opened or something has closed permanently, then it will stay on the list for a short while longer before being deleted completely.
As threads and messages are posted here or in other threads, I'll try to update this list and cite the poster. After each round of edits, changes are marked in bold.
