It's simply a matter of excess and reasonable coherence. Yes, I know...de gustibus and all that, but there has to be a cut-off point for just gratuitous nonsense. Some "guess what I'm doing" threads can be cute and/or funny, and some are just tedious.

If all the "don't censor/edit/move/alter/delete anything" folks had their way, someone could run threads where they post the names of their gerbils in 40 point type twice a day, and ask for 'comments'.

Sure, there will be grey areas where it's a toss-up whether to let it go or 'contain' it.....**personally**, I'd rather Joe/Jeff took the 'err on the side of caution' approach he has used recently. I like to read 'interesting' threads, but I object to folks using the forum for stream-of-conciousness eccentricities.

We have had trivia threads, political threads, religious threads, joke threads,....and tractor repair threads..etc...none of which were messed with, but when threads start becoming self referential and circular and filled with blanks and questions that just confuse, I think I LIKE having them ....ummmm....'limited'.

A 'mostly' free, open forum is nice, but folks need to contain some of their more arcane impulses.
