The Gato Bizco in Candler Park is my ideal of what a Decatur diner would be, except that the Gato is only open for breakfast.

I think Sammitches and Stuff has potential to be the Decatur diner, with some changes. Those of us who read this site should bring that possibility up to those guys the next time we stop in, although I’m sure they’ve thought of it.

Interesting….Several dimensions on which we could measure the intensity of discussion: absolute quantity of comments; frequency of responses to posted comments (in other words, density of threads); level of passion reflected in remarks (requiring some subjectivity in quantification); proportion of comment frequency to length and/or detail of original post/comment; frequency of digression (aka thread-jacking) — the less frequent, the more engaged people are with the core topic. Verbosity is one of the more obvious parameters, would not be IMO very useful or interesting, since some of us are known to run off at the keyboard like mineral oil through a goose. But it could be interesting to look at how often, in a given thread, posters get scolded (or even just gently cautioned) by other posters — another potential way of examining how deeply engaged we are about a topic…
