Susan, you posted a very indirect question about an off-topic subject in a very preachy, condescending way. That is your style in this forum. You are notorious around these parts for playing net nanny.

We are big people here. All of us perfectly capable of deciding for ourselves what threads we are interested in posting to, and what threads we aren't, without any tongue clucking from you.

For a person who claims to dislike "contentious" threads (to use your word), you sure have a way of wading into them with regularity.
