I just wanted to reiterate what someone else mentioned either in this thread or the other on volumes of posts here at Mudcat being a problem for some of us desiring a music-only discussion forum.

I want people who don't understand why some of us feel BS and music threads can't co-exist peacefully and get along. It is because of the volume of the BS. I don't have limitless amounts of time to spend on-line like so many here engaging in non-music chat apparently do. That makes the sheer volume created here difficult to deal with for me. Just because a thread title is a music title doesn't mean a tremendous amount of BS thread drift isn't occurring in that music thread.

Forums which are stricter about on-topic posting seem to do this sort of thing less, which makes for less time trying to wade through and find what you want to read. For some of us who are in front of computer screens all day long for our jobs, on-topic posting can be a bigger issue than to the people who are on-line for amusement and entertainment, and not to earn a living.

Hope that helps some of you understand why some of us are so vehement about the BS thing. It really does cut our on-line music discussion enjoyment to a minimum. And sometimes makes it intolerable.
