Submitting Suggested Topics for Discussion or Community Member Posts

Today we received 2 signed community members' comments.   When we received them, we asked the authors for permission to publish them as stand-alone posts.  They agreed.  We want to encourage other community members to submit comments for publication as stand-alone posts.  We also want to hear from community members on topics you would like us to address.  Please do so by submitting a comment on the Welcome Post -- that is the very first post that appears on this blog.  Thank you.
