Has anyone noticed the 'Death Spread' thread is heavily populated and has morphed away from food entirely, mostly into political bullshit. That's what I like about newsgroups. What I don't like is when people complain about others going "off topic", yet the heavily populated Death Spread thread only serves to prove the complainers of full of crap.

I do not come in here (except for now), to start any discussion not related to food. But I enjoy when any thread changes direction. What's the big beef? If you don't like it, let it go, move on. Anyway, I noticed the highly populated thread, which started off nicely enough, a great topic - funeral food - but quickly took on a more political vibe (which I despise), while at times morphing into what I like best, talking about theories. I think theories carry more weight than fact, or so-called fact, which is used mostly for debates, which are really nothing but discussions which have reached a dead end. Anyway, for those who bitch about others going off topic, the "Death Spread" thread is a good example of just how phony some of them can be as I could not help but notice doing the complaining were involved in that still active thread.

I enjoy it,

TJ
