I think that's what this site is all about - chatting! There is lots of Mika love going around. I think most of the threads, including the one you mentioned should be opened for chatting. Why not? The pictures are on the first page, so if someone wants to see them, feel free to look there. I do think the news and report threads should be less chatting so we can all find the "meat" there, but other than that, I think we should all be free to chat. That's why this is such a great site and people want to come back for more.
