Chalk is chalk, and who needs an aiming system.
It should be a more proactive/positive thread. One about ways all of us can use/do to help promote the game, get people/friends more involved (get them hooked so to say). The more people that play the game, the better it is on everyone, vendors, cue makers, billiards industry etc...
We gotta change the image of the sport for the general public (here in the U.S. especially). We need to get a petition up for getting Billiards in the Olympics etc... Talk is cheap, lets do it...
If we don't do something, we are endlessly stuck here talking about your precious chalk and how you gotta aim to hit the broad side of a barn ;-) heh...
