But you're right, our threads here tend to drift from one thought to another like a badly written novel.
p.s. - The unexpected drift is what makes it fun to follow threads here. It also makes it an exercise in patience to try to find a post years later, "Wait, was that post about Beowolf in the paranoia thread or in the water skiing thread?"  |
I do enjoy the unexpected directions some of our discussions take. I don't usually bother starting a new topic when an existing thread drifts, but I thought "well-read" was an interesting concept and if the discussion stayed in the "paranoia" thread, we might miss input from people who wrote off the paranoia thread days ago.
