To all members new and old , we have a laid back atmosphere here and do not mind if topics veer off topic . BUT , if you create a thread and wish it to stay ON TOPIC , please make it known in your original post by stating that you want all replies to be "On Topic" at the close of your original post . If anyone violates the OP's wishes , all off topic posts will be deleted . Thank you in advance . Stay on topic in this thread please !
This system will, I hope, prevent many threads from devolving. If it doesn't work, maybe we will have to tighten things down a little more. I hope not, since I enjoy some of the sidetracks! What about making or designating a specific icon for threads that are stated to be ON TOPIC only?
I also like some of the sidetracked threads and this is why I have never been worried about posts being off topic . Sometimes I get a laugh , sometimes it leads down another road to more light .
I appreciate the effort by Ashlar, and the suggestions by the Brothers. I'm not opposed to having fun, I just want to help the serious discussions stay more on target. Again, Thanks to everyone for understanding my position on this.
What were we talking about? SQUIRREL!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOO, sparkly butterflies, what? (And I agree that we need methodology(ies) to let it be known, if any icon, how about the arrow points to right
