I have a suggestion. It seems that several people are annoyed with the lack of swimming content in many of the threads (darn those thread hijackers). What if we created a section for Off Topic Questions and threads. It seems that would be an easy solution and make everyone happy.
That is well and good, but what about the posters who cannot help but start off topic threads? How do we politely ask them to not do that? This is still a forum for swimming related issues, and if people want to tell swimming stories, that is welcome and informative. Qs get As, advice is given and solicited. Asking the users of this forum to ignore your chit chat postings is just rude.If you absolutely must make idle chatter, palaver elsewhere, please. Now you have been politely asked.
