Stick to the subject, cant you?

Hi, gang. May I make a polite request to you all? Can you guys stop deviating from the subject of threads, please? It really is irritating. Example: my Merry Christmas thread was for people to wish each other said greeting, ask about plans for Christmas, etc. It's now turned into a thread about travel sickness and pregnancy. These subjects are fine, but in their own respective threads! There is already a thread about travel sickness in the travel section. Any subject is fine, but give it's own thread. Don't go off the subject of the thread you're on - it's annoying. There - rant over, let the talking resume! |

It's called hijacking a thread.
There are so many threads in this site that I'm sure some of them exist in triplicate.
I know I sometimes try to find a relevant thread for something I want to post, rather than starting a new one.
I wonder if the job as editor to the Chatterbox pays well!
Perhaps some people will get travel sick or pregnant while having a Merry Christmas so there may be a tenuous connection to the subject!? |

It's gonna be one boring site now then isn't it?
In day to day conversations mosty people divert from the original subject, it's the natural progression of a conversation as I see it. |

How about those who can't stick to a thread subject or find one of the title they want or can't be bothered starting a new thread use this one?
Does that sound reasonable? |

I think there are some websites where the administrators just delete the posts which are irrelevant to the thread title. |

Is summer EVER going to arrive? Are we going to have cold, frosty days for the next 3 months? Will Santa leave me everything I want?

I agree with kazzzz ( I'm scared not to ),conversations do naturally digress and if anyone wants to bring a thread back to topic, they can easily do so.
