so, here's a somewhat relevant question.....when I post an OT message, and yes, there are more of those from me recently since I haven't actually been able to quilt for a while.....it seems that someone responding to it will, invariably change the topic so that there is no OT label anymore.....then further down, somebody else will change it back to an OT thread.
My question is very simple....if the original poster has determined it is OT (more stuff, less fabrics/quilting), why change it when you are responding to it?? Sometimes, the changed topic shows up as a new topic for me (still trying to figure this one out), when it is really part of an OT thread.....am I making any sense, or is this clear as mud?? The tangent question is why anyone would take it upon themselves to change the topic in any form if they aren't the original poster of the message.....
Just curious.....but, to get back to the core of this...really, some people need to vent and have no other means of doing so (or at least feel they have no other means of doing so). If it is someone I know, I will read their messages and decide for myself if I will continue to read updates....regardless of being OT or not. When the messages start getting really kooky (as in recent cases), I will continue to keep the poster in my thoughts, but I don't continue to read their messages or any responses posted to them.
We were given, as human beings, free will....the right to choose.....choose not to read the OT posts, but if you do and you complain about it, make sure that YOU haven't posted any OT messages as well....goes back to that people in glass houses thing.
Larisa, who likes the diversity, and specifically for MaryD, is hoping that the jobs you mentioned (OT post) are progressing and that you get to move to where you want to
P.S. Have you noticed that this post, regarding OT posts, is getting more activity in the last 24 hours than any other post, specifically the ON topic ones???
