I think our very first slide was about owls, which was Q related. But it morphed into a long discussion about owls, birds of prey, personal favorites and owl experiences. That’s when we all started grappling with how far a slide should reasonably go. Most of them start out Q related (Crisco can = being prepared for what’s coming) but if they start morphing into long personal histories or what a daughter-in-law ate for breakfast, someone usually objects.
Any slide kept to a sentence or two is generally tolerated. Correct me if I’m wrong. M-O-O-N spells IMHO.

Agreed but not sure about M-O-O-N spells IMHO. I keep returning to the thought of Ransomnote having to start new threads while we all sit here and chit chat without that responsibility. Nobody wants to be rude but we should be aware if we are being considerate on the other hand.
slides were way before that. (what is considered a slide anyway? - probably totally off topic? vs tertiary off topic ? )
