I've had a look at a few long-standing threads that, by title/OP appeared interesting. Over and over I saw a very interesting post made, only to have it immediately buried with, quite literally, a dozen+ unrelated 'nothingness' juvenile posts. Anyone checking in on those threads, unless they took the time to weed back on through pages of unrelated 'nothingness', would never see the interesting/meaningful/OP related posts. Of course, some of that is purposeful if a member is inclined to want to bury another's post. Just sayin! Unrelated conversation should be meant for such forums as the "Lounge" or "Chat"... not within other formal forums.
