I agree, to be honest, I think any thread would easily fit intot he forums that we already have...
if you want to have a discussion about the internet, that asks how it works... then the technical section for networking would be a good place to put the thread...
if you want to have a general and more social discussion about the internet, how why and what people use it for then the social lounge is probably the best place...
I can't see a social section for technical subjects really taking off.
we could call it Random chit chat...
