Agreed. Discussion on forums may tend to focus on problems, inconsistencies, etc... little time on banality or that which does not need a solution.

Reading gifted forum topics may tend to give the uninitiated a distorted, fun-house-mirror view of things... from which they may develop misconceptions about students, parents, and teachers. Some may miss the dedication, creativity, and solution-oriented flow of most threads.
