I read this thread earlier, then had a long day while many more posts were added, and am not currently prepared to give well-written thoughts on the matter. Primarily posting right now to add that a chronological list of interviews exists; I put it together yesterday prior to the beginning of this discussion. This is a quote from the Newsletter Writer board.
When possible, this directs to the Featured Community Member thread; else, the Featured Community Member Archive; else, the newsletter for the month; else, no link.
This list is being made and maintained primarily since Newsletter staff are considering re-interviewing members who were last interviewed a minimum of two years ago. The cutoff is clearly indicated in the list.
