No where to hide

We need a place on this forum to dump threads that no longer have anything to do with the subject line. Maybe something like "Morphed Threads." I think most of what is usually referred to as hijacking is just the conversation drifting toward whatever is of interest to people. But I do like to be able to click on something and have the current discussion have at least something to do with the subject.

While in theory not a bad idea, it would require a lot of work on the part of the admins. Plus, who gets to decide when the conversation is far enough off topic to change the title and move it elsewhere? What we need is some government intervention here.

I used to get irritated when threads that I started went in directions other than where I was thinking when I started them, but I came to realize that it was not something I could control, so I made peace with it. The conversations here are just too awesome.

So... Where are we? Who's on first?

Apologies for the conversation drift. I'll start a new thread if I want to discuss the different possible options for sewage

Where were we? Oh yes, treatment options for those who have trouble coping with the PP's daily volatility. SSRI's are popular. Just be cautious about the suicide risk.

Don't apologize. If we all apologized for a meandering thread, then I've got about 50 threads that got turned into monetary system debates to go back and apologize for.

Yeah, I think the PP was just in the sewer for a spell. You guys were probably not that far off topic. Carry on!

OMG CHAOS!!!!!!!!!! Don't you see! We need more CONTROL! Spontaneous order from chaos is an impossible, non-existent concept! Without a central authority we'll all be doooooooooooomed! Never mind that it appears to be working… it's just a ruse designed to lull you into a false sense of complacency! Soon there will be unspeakable, unimaginable calamities!

We've all been at an intersection where the power is off and the lights are blinking red or off. I will agree that most times, you can actually get through faster.

But this was two different days, and you don't know if there was an accident one day out of camerashot or if NZ traffic is radically different on Mon vs. Tues. As well, all it takes is one person not familiar with the area, or not paying attention, to blow through and cause an accident.

When I have my self driving car, I am all for traffic lights going away...

It might also be that the power being out led to a lot of people not going to work.

moda and stewardship,

Apologies have recently been discussed in "Best PLaces to Retire." This makes perfect sense to me. That was the big issue in the New Zealand conversation. You might wish to take your apology stuff there. The thread is, surprisingly, in "Other Discussions."

Will our thread on the Manhattan meet, which went well, be demoted to a general listing? I do not know how to do this. Nor do I know how to use the "buddy" feature.

Any help?
