Doug, all of these others have said more eloquently what my feelings are about this subject. Like some of these folks, I carefully thought out my view point and included them on the last thread of this subject, adding my testimony to the value of these seemingly nonrelated chats. It is indeed difficult for some to see this value, I suppose, as it is difficult to see the value in anything we have, or think we have, little need of in this life. If you deem they are of no value to you then you must use your energy to post to only those threads that you find valuable and by doing so your experience will be satisfying.

A guy walks into a doctors office and says, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." The doctor says, "Don't do that!" ;^)
