After you've had some experience reading news and participating in
conversations that someone else started you're ready to start you're
own thread.  For instructions on starting a thread, see section 8.2.3
on "Test 2: Starting a Thread."

BE FOREWARNED
Sometimes you think you've got a great topic that will lead to
fascinating discussion, but then you get absolutely no response.  Be
aware that this happens to everyone and it's really impossible to
tell what will turn into a great thread and what will fizzle into
nothingness.

TRICK
To really get a thread going, post some wrong information in a
seemingly innocent way.  (I'm not really advocating this, but it's a
good trick to know about!)
