Hey, I'm all in favor of off-topic discussions but then that goes for everything i.e. if someone starts a political discussion related or not to movies, MOPO board members who find this objectionable should follow their own advice and just hit "delete" and stop ranting about it. FRANC
-----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Hershenson Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 9:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] OT: What IS the fuss about on-topic or off-topic discussions? Like most of you, I prefer MoPo posts to be about movies or movie posters, but why is it such a big deal when an occasional post (or thread) strays completely off-topic? I of course don't want non-poster collectors to come here and start discussions of other subjects, but I really don't mind at all when "regular" posters make some non-movie poster related comments, and I actually have learned quite a bit from such discussions. Is there anyone here who prefers the endless stream of "5 hours left on my auctions..." "Now there's only 4 hours left..." type of e-mails to off-topic ones? What is the big deal anyway? And why can't we all just get along? In any event, if God didn't want off-topic e-mails, then why did he/she make a delete key on every computer?
