Or to annoy the mods.

Still I guess writing love letters to us keeps them off the streets and busy (I was going to say gainfully occupied, but like George Washington, I cannot tell a lie)

Happens all the time to my threads and its done deliberately isn’t it miss donna    Its designed to throw all my posts off track and derail the tread.....   You have seen that happen often havent you miss donna to my posts  🙂

I dont mind as I find it very funny to watch the efforts of these people doing it all the time,  It must amuse as well miss donna to see it happen 

i have no problem with it being done to annoy the mods

It doesn't worry me.The topic on CS is general (non ebay related) discussion or it used to be ...going by that all general discussion in CS would be on topic for CS .

What worries me more that some want to control what the topic is and isn't about .Sometimes just a different opinion can be seen by some as a deliberate attempt to derail a thread .

Also if a thread is about something such as for example child care places or school funding issue ...some may not see that politics may come into that and is on topic and relevant to that topic.

another example ....some people watched the Political debate last night .

People may notice and or comment on certain things from that ...some may even observe that one or the other Politicians who are both  married men (promoted to us,the voters as married/family men and politicians ) doesn't wear a ring ...that would or should not be off topic...JMHO

 threads have always gone off topic. i don't mind.
