Staying on topic, why is it so Hard for some???????

With all due respect, I think a legitimate question deserves legitimate answers, and not a bunch of object lessons.

What does this have to do with apple pie?

A tall glass of milk to wa***hat pie down goes with out saying. Am I right?!

With all due respect, lighten up. Just some harmless fun on Halloween. No harm intended. Look, a dead green guy! [xx(]

I've seen plenty of threads veer off topic, only to divulge very usefull information about something else entirely different.

David, What does your post have to do with staying on topic! [;)]

I like apple pie. Warm, cold. Ala mode or not. Doesn't matter. I like it all. Does any one else?

I find it frustrating too, but I try to remember that sometimes a legitimate question will be answered and then raise other, similar questions. I could not have anticipated that my recent query about Alaskan cruise-train vista cars would edge over into the abortive "Marlboro Train" of several years ago. But I didn't mind it either.

As for spelling, grammar, punctuation, I for one think that's a different kind of negligence than improper trolling. Now please anyone don't hammer me for expecting perfection in every post; I make mistakes too. There are the occasional posts, though, that are totally confounding because of missed words, wrong words, unintentional homonyms. How difficult is it to write a lengthy Q or A in one's word-processing program, have it checked for spelling and grammar, and then cut and copy it into the foums?

I think Amtrak is in trouble and the cost of toy trains is exhorbitant. [:D][oops]

It is not just the CTT forum but several of the other similar ones that I frequent.
Somebody posts a legitimate, SPECIFIC question and is sincerely seeking information or a recommendation. He posts it in English, with puncuation and good grammar.
WHY can't the people READ the question and then only reply if they have an answer to the question ?????
This doesn't seem too hard.
This doesn't pertain to anything I've posted lately but as I read posts on today's list I can't think that there are some mighty frustrated posters out there.
