While you're at it, could we please have some extra subdivisions in the chemistry part? Dunno what else, but we do need a novel/new ideas area...
Yes I agree wholehearteldy, and I can gaurantee, ALL members would be in agreement in the discussion, proposals of novel preperations, and uses of many molecules.
Its just seperating what is known, from what is considered NOVEL, and of course to who...Probably that doesn't make sense, but it is in the line of, Could a thread itself just contain the wording of say.. Novel preperation, or novel use of Benzylchloride - as an example, rather than a seperate area for novel reactions.etc..I dont know, just thrashing this around abit.
I also very much like how a number of the members, have started their own experimentation threads...so in light of that, perhaps a novel section would be good.
I also have often thought- say a thread for an example, of preperaing ethylbenzene, by numerous methods, but the thread more so being about, WELL we have this done, what can we do with it...What potential has ethylbenzene, and anything known presented, but more importantly anything that is novel - being proposed, perhaps challenged, perhaps worthy of a trial- and not just based on literature finds. As a forum, we could really push our understanding of chem, and doing it that way, would help others/myself learn more chem, and push the barriers around somewhat.. and do so, without the pressure one would feel if one proposed a schematic to ones peers of highly qualified chemists..I believe good ideas often come, when one is relaxed, and not afraid to say the ridiculous, and just thrashing things around...I think this forum is the place to accomodate this sort of brain storming, with respect to chemistry, and furthermore, we have some very talented members here, theirfore able to give sound and reliable feedback to novel use of chem.
I dont know what I am saying here has much bearing on the forum, the recent design changes and perhaps it is just pointing out, reminding myself and others, that things here are PRETTY FUCKING good...
I am obviously in agreement to somehow emphaising NOVEL chem as a whole, but not sure how this could be done, or whether, just as I have stated be part of the title of a thread concerning something novel....
