Hey, everyone! The moderating team thought it would be fun to have a thread where we posted our thoughts about the year of 2006. This is not a contest or anything, we just wanted to have a little discussion. I am going to throw out a few categories here, but feel free to add more as you like. Say what your favorite things were...your least favorite things...what you're tired of hearing about...etc. Just thought this could be a cool topic to discuss so we can see the different viewpoints of EWAC's members.

To get the ball rolling....
