While this thread is not the forum, can a section of VBD be set up to discuss major positions that people are running? I heard rumor of unique/interesting positions at Lexington.It would be nice to know what they were. If a place does exist where people are discussing arguments I would appreciate someone letting me in on it.

I know people are afraid of case lists (been there done that with that discussion), a general list of positions could help a lot of people prepare/understand the direction this topic is going given the number of people that use this website.

Just my thoughts…
