I've just counted up todays postings 134 of which 24 could be said to be "off topic" thats about 6%.Not realy a problem,and some of these collected a lot of contributions so somebody,s interested.for my self I usualy avoid comenting in the political threads (1) because when I get to read them there huge and most of the stuff I would send has already been said(severel times (2)There's nearly allways some much more iteresting stuff about. PS one of these off topic threads was from someone in desperate need of psicological support and advice, who found it in abundance. This forum is vibrant, alive, and careing PP
