I must admit to some confusion (almost certainly just dunderheadedness on my part) about why some forums are set up to post "articles" and others post "threads." I'm just accustomed to the latter and find the former to be just kinda strange - sure that's because I'm just not understanding the reason for the differentiation.

As an example, I thought I was just going to start a simple thread about the new Raisin' Cane on I-240, but realized it was going to be an "Article," not a "Thread," and wasn't sure what I did to cause that distinction. But I see it in different places where I don't really want to create "articles," just want to post something to shoot the breeze (threads), so guess I'm being concrete-between-the-ears in getting the distinction between the two. I tend to not like/shy away from "articles" because you can't "like" replies and it just seems like they aren't "intended" for discussions, but surely that's just my own perception.

Sorry to be dense
