Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Maybe something like this has been discussed already. I don't think it has in the context below. If it has, please let me know.
Sometimes a thread seems to take a life of it's own, and turns into the weeds (off-topic or in the lunatic fringe of being on topic).
No offense to the moderators. I moderate on a couple websites, and I know it can be like herding cats sometimes.
But, on ER and elsewhere I sometimes get amused as I read/am keeping up on an active thread by guessing which post "jumps the shark" and sets things in motion into the weeds. I find it quite entertaining and get a good chuckle sometimes. I've probably been guilty of it a time or seven!
Anyone else do this?
