-> I agree completely! For further clarification, the new forum would give the original posters a choice to post their topic somewhere where it is understood that all subsequent posters should refrain from digressing to silliness. On the side of the coin, if someone posts a topic in the Lounge, they should do so with the understanding that the discussion could move toward the obscure.

-> Well...that is just silly! Perhaps I am naive, but I never got the impression from any of the posters that they were denegrating the Lounge or those who post there. They were just looking for a place where they could post their topic without the discussion deviating too far from the point. Frankly, that happens a lot in the Lounge and I can understand how that would be frustrating to the original poster or others trying to be a part of that discussion.

Edit: I added this because it seems that peple are asking all over again 'why' - probably it would be better to read the thread and discuss there?

@harryT; a lot of red H's has appeared in a number of people's avatars. I don't what it is about, but a guess could be this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_letter - though it's an A not a H. In any case, I'm not sure it's something nice.
-> Thanks, EA. I did know of that thread and have contributed to it, but I got the impression that there might be more to it than that.
