I like that idea, it would be useful for people that rarely log in or people who have been absent for a period. not to mention it would keep people up to date with whats going on (announcements ect)
something more structured would be nice... and some of the sadder threads probably don't sit too well in CB where there is a degree of light heartedness
cb is too fast moving to be honest ed, if someone posts an announcement depending on the traffic it could be missing by the evening if there are a lot of posts in that time.
A "Where (who) are they now?" topic would be interesting because I often wonder what happened to regulars who disappear, but I can understand why the Ed wouldn't want us going on about banned users.
