Please direct me to the threads I should read

[PsYcHo-ScHnAuZeR]

I've been away for a week, and I can see we have had some major goings on here. I appreciate Mike Haven's sticky, but it doesn't tell me where the most relevant information is.

I want:

To know what happened stated in a concise manner.

Objective non-hysterical analysis of the impact of these changes.

Solid suggestions of where I should play, where I should pursue bonuses, where I should avoid.

I don't want to spend hours reading to catch up. Can someone link to the key informative posts I should read.

Thank You.
