Reply #5: Agreed it is a DISCUSSION board, and TOPICS are proposed for discussion.

And most posters here put time, energy, and passion into positing a topic for discussion, and it is disheartening for it to often be that the VERY FIRST POST is one that unloads off-topic crap that squelches the thread and the topic, complete with banal "advice" like "turn off the t.v." like THAT has *never* been posted THOUSANDS of times (if not millions), not to mention giving unasked for advice AND unqualified "psychological anaysis" about who I'm mad at and who is not going to be changed by my e-mail. (I'm pretty angry with YOU about now, btw.)



I have asked that this off-topic sub-thread be Deleted, but more than likely the entire thread will be closed, an innocuous little thread that had its own little right to exist alongside the thousands of others.
