[quote user="Datafever"]  Worthless doesn't take sides, although it is always a matter of personal interest.What is chaff to me may not be chaff to you.  That's fine.  Nothing wrong with that.  But just because I think that a particular thread is chaff doesn't mean that I (or anyone else) am trying to control the direction or content of the discussion or be a forum cop.  It just means that there are quite a few threads that I skip over. [/quote] Specific to your observations,  I think where you stated: " what is chaff to me may not be chaff to you"... I think you conceptualized the truly relevant point right there.  The propensity for some netizens, however,  to insist a topic has strayed off topic just because it isn't following the narrow parameters by which they see as ideal for their purpose,  is  in fact a way people do try to control discussion by playing context police. I'd give you an example, but I'd have to go off topic to do so.  LOL.  I just find it humorous the way some of these context police are about as bad about  introducing auxillary thought processes into discussion their own selves, and never seem to think twice when it's on someone else's nickle.  Of course THEY are 'just being cute and clever' when they do it.  There is a lot of chaff,... on internet forums, in the world and general, and in my mailbox most days, unfortunately.  Such is life.
