Since I started this guess I better weigh back in. I do not think posts in threads that add information, insight or comments are a problem. The problem I have is when the thread is taken over by someone other than the OP and becomes a thread about their project or a topic unrelated to the original question. I admit I will occasionaly add a humorous observation or recite a long lost memory that may not be related to the topic. This site is big enough that having to filter thru extraneous stuff in a thread takes time, and can get frustrating to the OP that is just looking for specific answers to his questions.

Threads that are more general have room for off topic stuff ("pics for show and shine" " my new truck" "anyone going cruising this weekend"). The reason for individual threads is to keep the topics isolated, listing the topic in the header helps to.

I think this has been a good discussion and reminders on what will keep this the great site it is. Now lets all retreat back to the garage and break something so we can continue posting....
