Just a silly question about topic creep.
Should we allow it to continue like it is? We are very liberal with topics wondering.
Should disallow and maintain a strict control - moving threads to keep topic on track?
For instance, if the thread starts off talking about Bush and creeps toward cars - should we nudge it back,create another thread about cars, then move the threads about cars to it?
My personal opinion, is that I like topic creep. It somewhat requires folks to read more of the thread before responding, and it allows folks to complete their thoughts. On the other hand, keeping on topic requires more 'debate' rather than discussion.
What is your take?
