Re: *OT*

In Response To: Re: *OT* (thebruce0)


: Yes, I did, which is why your comment was brain-asplodingly out of place.

:?

: At the very least, quote people who are discussing a similar subject as the
: thread title, or change your comment subject to be relevant to its
: content.

The content was all over the place, and half the time on here the nominal subject of the post has little or nothing to do with what's in it anyway.

: I (and I presume you and most others here) choose to read threads
: based on the subject matter.

I do that too, and I as I said, it's often independent of the stated subject.

: If you post quotes with content irrelevant to the subject, it may never be
: read by someone interested in it; and on the other hand, you may post
: content that is uninteresting to the reader who thinks they're going to
: read something actually relevant to the subject line. (like me, who
: thought "hey, lots of discussion sparked about 'AI rampancy untouched'!"
: to find a tiny paragraph at the end following largely irrelevant replies to
: other people from other threads.

It was all in the same thread. I'm sorry you thought there was a lot of conversation about the corner of this that especially intrigued you and there wasn't, but it happens.

: And, it's especially wasteful when your unrelated response doesn't even add
: anything to the previous discussion elsewhere, such as "same
: here" O_O *asplode*

I responded to that post with more than "same here", and I don't know what you mean by wasteful.

: That, to me, is a reason why you find you end up posting so much.
: Just don't post so much :P

no :P

: Focus, add to a conversation, and if you must multi-quote out of thread, make each
: single comment entry's content relevant to its subject line.

Again, it was all in one thread.
I get what you're subject, even though it's often irrelevant and a lot of people ignore them (I mostly ignore subject lines within threads). The thought had crossed my mind. The process for that would be reading the whole thread and then just responding to some of the posts I have a response to (with all the attendant copying and pasting), and then going back and repeating for each topic. That's not to say it's too bothersome, just that it is in fact bothersome, and more so than clumping all the posts I'm responding too, and that's not to say I won't try it, because I will... assuming I remember.

You cannot fall off the floor.
