I think it's great that people get close and want to keep up with what's
going on with each other. But here's the difference: I (and others, I bet)
don't want to weed through a bunch of irrelevant, off-topic, personal
comment posts looking for real information, which is why I'm signed on the
the forum to begin with. If you all want to make your off-topic comments,
that's fine, just address them to your pals, not to the entire forum. I've
signed off of these forums for months at a time because they devolve into an
AOL chatroom with all of this stuff.
