Well there are many approahes that could be taken and I expect you think threads should remain strictly on topic, which is reasonable and may even find support in the TOS, and when I say may be hasten to point out that the idea just popped in to my head and so one really should read the TOS carefully to find out if I am correct or not but certainly I do not propose that you do or any one else should and i certainly wont bother however irrespective of what the TOS declares or not I think we will find a loose division upon the question as to threads remaining strictly on topic so I dont expect putting the question to a membetship vote would take us anywhere and certainly those who found their idea was not supported by the vote perhaps would not be swayed to change their mind or position and irrespective of what the TOS may set out or the result of a vote upon the issue I doubt if either would allow for the fact the forum is titled "general chat" which may or may not suggest a degree of flexibility that may perhaps not exist in other threads but I would say that if I had started a thread and it had the effect of bringing folk out to discuss wider issues that althoigh not strickly on topic but somehow prompted them to think deeply about another not entirely related matter then I would be inclined to feel happy that the thread that I started had some unexpected effect but nevertheless caused someone to express their opinion.
I really dont know.
What do you think?
