One year ago today the title ‘Morning Reads: ( http://www.bmwmoa.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12610&highlight=morning+reads)’ made its first appearance on a thread. Frankly it was a mistake repeated eight days later and has been the title since. The thread was intended to be titled Daily Reads. To misquote the Bard of Avon - a rose by any other name would still have thorns.

Wonder what the next year will bring?
