Like most people on here, I plead guilty to the crime....but like most others have said....that is the nature of a conversation in real life.
I treat thread wanders a bit like a sauce with a meal....it adds colour, taste(sometimes) and makes the whole experience more enjoyable....some of the topics would be deadly if not for the lightening effect of a thread wander......and as Mick has said, if you do find it annoying beyond all reason....then you can always report the post.

Personally there are other, more pressing things in my life to get annoyed about...remember this is not 'real' life.

Now, now, you are wandering, and may be encouraging someone with a dirty mind like mine to speculate up which part of his anatomy Houdini disappeared

Let's imagine a thread and call it, say, "Accrington is quite near Blackburn". No one's allowed to thread-wander or go off at a tangent, right? So, 15 replies say, "Yes, it is", and 1, whose geography leaves a lot to be desired, says, "No it isn't". End of topic - scintillating stuff.

Right, that's my deviation from the thread.

Garinda's right.We all have our own personal bugbears.Mine is poor spelling/punctuation in posts but I realise it's not a strong point for some people so I wouldn't pass comment.A thread is like a conversation,ie a comment here,a joke there and we're soon back on topic.As Westender said,it would indeed be a dull site if we stuck rigidly to the thread title.For example,someone asks for tips on losing weight.After person one has replied eat less and person two has replied get more exercise,without being allowed to deviate at all,what else is there to say? Threads would only be about 3 posts long!
Get yourself a sense of humour and have a laugh.Go on,startle yourself and make a witty remark.I'm sure you've got one in you somewhere.

Think yourself lucky if you don't understand it means it isn't personal to you, therefore nothing to worry about!

(Can I get back to worrying about what 'rindy said now? I'm sure he meant it!).

OOooop's sorry an annoying thread wander!

I think that it is a picture of a scan

Perhaps there should be Accy Web inductee courses held at libraries throughout the borough, to unlock the mysteries of the forum.

I'd be first to sign up.

Two eyes,nose,teeth...could be Whoopy Goldburg

MargaretR · 23-08-2007, 17:09

Just been up to 400% magnification -still no wiser
Definately less handsome than Whoopi - more like a battered grecian urn

(and before you say it - Artisotle Onassis earned a heck of a lot)
