Let's stick to the appropriate fora for a change

This website is very neatly divided up into separate fora (or forums if you must) plus there is a facility for registrants to maintain personal blogs. Lately, it seems to me that the divisions are becoming somewhat blurred. For example, someone starts off expressing some personal thoughts on his own blog which generates into a debate about pro-v-am theatre and then gets into a review of his latest play. In another case, someone posts a perfectly useful (if a bit biased) review on the Revies forum, then a cast member responds (inappropriately I maintain) in a long boring post about the sacrifices he had to make for his art or some such self-serving twaddle, more appropriate to a blog. Then of course there are an increasing number of posteurs sending cheerios to each other on general fora. Please don't - it is not really all that interesting for the rest of us - and don't forget that includes everyone on the World Wide Web! As for trolls - remember the story of the three billygoats gruff...nuff said!-)

My comments were not aimed at any particular persons. I don't do that. I was merely making a point by using some recent examples. Anyone who takes personal umbrage at this, well, as Kevin Bloody Wilson would say, "DILLIGAF!" By the way, in case it wasn't obvious, my two earlier posts were ended with a wink and grin, thus "!-)" TTFN, Ssstinger>>>
