Definite yes from me, the daily thread is great just to feel like I'm not the only person pursing FI and thinking about it. Most people around me have no interest or find it unrealistic and I'm not one to push it on them, so its fantastic to hear from people that are also taking it seriously
I did enjoy reading those threads as well. I rarely participated by posting my own top level comment, but would occasionally respond to others. I would make an effort to post more though, if I saw the thread each day.
