barrysloateBill- sorry to hear that and I wish the whole thing would go away, but it won't.
Getting back to the topic of being off-topic, it might not be a terrible idea to have a new poll (the Caramel card one seems played out) and see how the group as a whole feels about off topic posts. I personally feel it adds some character to the board and gives friends a chance to relax and have some fun. I think threads digress for two reasons: 1)they are plain boring and aren't going anywhere; 2) there are personal fights going on and it's a good way to sidetrack them.
I'm not sure what the urgency is to keep every thread on the straight and narrow. I have to say I find a lot of them very dull, and some of the off-topic ones more interesting. And let's be frank- nobody is going to start a thread "did you see last night's Seinfeld rerun?" That's never going to happen, so the suggestion of doing that seems foolish.
If anybody finds a thread veering off topic, my suggestion is post and put it back on course.
