Tools and Techniques is a "category."
You can post on the first long running topic which covers a number of subjects.
You can start a new individual thread on any topic you like that is relevant to the title.
It might confuse some as apart from the first long running thread with the title of the category, only five other threads are displayed.
You have to click on the title to start a new thread, this also brings up many other threads started within the category.

Minor curmudge here. Someone has been borrowing my thermal ski socks for gardening and walkies and maybe even golf and has left me with naked heels. I shall have to hide the others.
