	a question of 'pointless'
Troy_Mclure Fish Addict Posts: 725 Kudos: 306 Registered: 20-Jan-2003	What would be a 'pointless' thread in the recovery room? I understand there was some drama lately about a thread being deleted here because it was 'pointless'. (Perhaps I should have put this in the site feedback section.)

I wouldn't worry too much about it, dude. If you make a pointless post, you'll know it. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

When the websites are passed out up above, you had better be on your best behavior. Take my advice and turn your rather outrageous mannerisms into a constructive and positive attitude. You have the intelligence. Direct it to accomplish something you can be proud of. I know. I've been there. --garyroland.

While I can fully understand the need to go about things slowly and not overload a new system....a bit of explination goes a long way. I've been keeping back from posting the POTW threads for exactly that reason...and the only reason I created the word association thread on the temp site is that I knew it'd only be temporary...shrug ^_^ *Proud member of the Committee for Sig Line Restoration*

I don't say this to make waves, but I do say this because fun was one of the reasons I payed for a membership to this site. Starting to get a little ridiculous.

Adam Administrator Posts: 1090 Registered: 25-Jul-2000	A pointless thread is a topic that has no chance of producing meaningful conversation.

tiny_clanger Fish Guru Posts: 2563 Kudos: 571 Votes: 12 Registered: 17-Sep-2002	but if conversation is going, by definition it is not pointless........ ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions
