actually, perhaps 'off topic' posting not quite accurate, within a topic I always stay with the thread, but threads almost always mutate as they go along.
On this half of the forum there is a huge topic about politics, masses of replies, not really about carpet cleaning though.
And that is what I mean about 'off topic' The subject matter is outside of any sort of cleaning context, and has been inundated with replies.
The various cleaning sectors all have their areas inside the forum, but few of us cross over to see what the others are saying, we stick to our own sectors.
I have no idea of what is involved in setting up other areas on this or any other forum, if it is a simple matter then why not?
It'll either be used or not used, much in the way that the vast majority of us stick to our own sections on the forum.
Back to the more important topic of Dr Who, He would have to find K9 first, he's been retired, or perhaps he could go back in time and fetch him when his alter ego wasn't looking.....what happens if Dr Who goes back and meets himself.....no, I'm not going there, but you see how easy it is to drift? I made passing mention of Dr Who and 2 others also made comments.
This is the kind of thing I am talking about, so easy for a thread to veer off on a tangent sometimes.
Dennis and Malc both proclaimed not to go off topic, but both made humourous comments about the good Dr.
Not off topic with regards to my own mention of him, but it was if taken into relation of the original thread started by Doug, and if the postings continued it would have been exactly the kind of thing that would be in danger of being removed by Doug!
