Best Of MetaFilter

Dear distinguished colleagues, LinkMe: A MetaFilter experiment for posts, is an experimental thread, based on a suggestion by Rhaomi, wherein folks can suggest ideas for posts they don't necessarily want to make themselves, and other folks can pick up the baton on ones that interest them. So put on your lab coats and goggles, everyone — we're trying it out!
