Doonge, I get your 'frustration'? at the way the thread went so far off topic and you make a good point about serious posts getting lost in amongst the humour. Trying to figure out what's real and what's funny in this thread as far as rumours go is nigh on impossible.
BUT....I see a thread where on page one, jackastor (the op) joined in the fun and continued to do so throughout. If jackastor had posted to ask people to stay on topic and keep the rumours to serious ones only, I have no doubt the majority here would have respected that wish and happily complied.
It's just one of those threads, it happens. I still think our friend who posted the angry flame on page 4 was way over the top. It's a forum, threads go ot and people post silliness. If it was every thread, perhaps there'd be a problem that the mods need to address. But, it's not.
Someone will be along eventually with a new thread of serious rumours which will stay on topic, for the most part. Everyone who wants to hear those will be as happy as the rest of us in this thread with the outlandish posts. Win win
Again, just my opinion and I'm happy to be shot down in flames for it
