Well, I see you've done you share to make it that way.
This is the way live threads are, period. Quite being such a PITA.
Look children,
Just compare the tone and content of threads I-VII to the total mess that became of Thread VIII.
Have never been on a live thread on FR where every single post is directly related to factual evidence regarding thread topic...that would certainly curtail discussion and information flow and speculation and comradery and humor and debate, all part of the function of a discussion forum, imo.
