I dislike it in general. I'm on several forums in a variety of topics and sometimes (not all the time) the most useful ones allow for updates well downstream of inception. However, it can be nauseating to wade through pages and pages of derailment. I think this forum falls victim to the "look, squirrel!" tangents waaaaaaay too often. But then again, I shouldn't be surprised as my wife is a Special Ed teacher and she insists that 80% of the pilots she met exhibit ADD tendencies if not full blown ADD. lol Anyway, back to lock threads: don't do it, Mav.
