Hi Gang!
I personally feel that it's the nature of people to wonder off topic in many, many circumstances. Just look at the different teachers we've had in the many different subjects we've taken where they can't stick to the lecture subject.
I think it doesn't take much to stay on topic with minimal off topic posts. It does help me keep focused on the subject line originally posted. There have been sometimes that by the time I got to the end of a thread I've forgotten what the original subject entailed.
What I think Cheri is suggesting is that we are a little more conscious of this point and not intentially do anything the throw a thread off track. Not much to ask. I know it would help me a little as I'm dealing with severe cognitive challenges already. What a bummer!
Thank you for listening. I hope I didn't run on too much.
