Piglet's Picks
Some of these are good threads, some good posts, they are all things which strike us as useful, or at least worth a look at.
Beware some contain off-site links over which we have no control, follow them on your own initiative.
I have called it “Piglet’s picks” because Piglet from Portugal has done most of the grunt work (Blame amsawtell for the pun, it was too good to miss) seeking out these posts, thank you PiP. I have simply put them in order of the boards on which they appear.
If you see anything you think worthy of adding to this list please post it below or notify me of it and I will edit it in.
Keep an eye on the thread, people are passing stuff on all the time, a new post is usually a new link, go to the post and you will not have to read through the list to see what's new since you last looked.
