Guys and Gals...



Since I have been a member here, there have been a few references to "going off topic".

I understand that on some Forums there are quite strict rules regarding this, but I have searched our own 'terms and conditions' and can't find any reference to this...feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..... http://www.forumgarden.com/terms.html



This is such a 'chatty' forum that I for one am guilty of 'wandering' and 'waffling'....:D



I am interested to know if anyone thinks this is a BIG DEAL...it's not to me but I'm happy to 'toe the line' if needs be.:)

Nope. In real life I meander from one topic to another until you wonder how on earth you got there!

Here I think its great that everyone else also rambles off topic.....and when a few get annoyed about it....everyone seems to push it even further off topic! hehehehehe :wah:

EG, the butter thread............... was that REALLY all about butter????? :wah: :wah: :thinking:

It happens all the time here..... its a very relaxed atmosphere... no problem in my book. I think very intellectual threads ( which I avoid) would require more sticking to the subject.... No one wants to hear about donuts on a thread involving serious health concerns etc........ I respect that and I appreciate that.

You're right Weeder....the serious stuff tends to stay on topic....probably because some of us ladies don't get involved :D

you're up late Bezzy! ...it's not at all unusual for threads to get off-topic. the only thing considered rude however, is blatant hijacking.
