Many people just don’t write well. Similarly, many people don’t read well. I’ve often been surprised at how often folks will respond to something that wasn’t actually said.

I generally feel that the poster who starts a thread like you described is looking for attention. Positive or negative, it is attention all the same.

Hi @goldensrbest, I hope Easter Sunday finds you doing well. Doing great here at our place.

Heck, most of my posts go on and on, many times it shocks me how much I say! I know what you mean about posts that add on and add on, hopefully most of them are not mine. If so, call me out, sometimes I just can't seem to help myself. My wife tells me that often about my being too detailed oriented. Not sure where or when I picked that up.

Not at all, just the re posting i guess one calls it , with each new post what is that called ?

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

Doling out information incrementally seems often to happen... At times, it almost seems like game playing... Not always, but sometimes... Sort of has me to the point that I want to wait several pages in rather than waste my time up front on what might be a moving target...

I don't know if this is what any of you are talking about (I've probably mixed it up again); but one thing I don't think people realize is whatever is posted here will pop up all over the internet if someone is looking for a topic we've discussed here.

That's also where, if a topic is changed or added to, can make a difference further down.

I've been guilty of changing (or going off subject). I try to readdress it, but when that's done the same thing you are talking about (I believe will happen).

Am I making any sense? Probably not. Maybe you understand what I'm trying to say.

There are some topics that go on forever. I think there should be some kind of limit to how long they can go on.

Just my opinion.

Here is an example @Annabellethecat66.

Poster starts a thread titled "should I get back with my ex?" He is the father of my two children, and I never stopped loving him.

Then in dribbles...

Poster is married to someone else.
Ex is married to someone else.
Ex is in jail.
Ex is now in a same sex relationship.
Two children are 45 years old.

And so on...

I mostly see responses that are all over the place and sometimes have nothing to do with what the original poster even posted.

I completely agree. I recently had a post that was taken totally off what I asked for in the first place. Really aggravating.

@lolakimono OK, I see. Thanks for explaining. That would make my bla blaing even more stupid.

I always pop in and give an example of something. That would make my example even more ridiculous because if the OP changes or slowly dribbles information someone reading my post might say (or think), that has nothing to do with the subject.

I'm guilty of drifting off subject as it is, but when they change the (by adding to the post important details) it makes what I (using I meaning everyone) have to say, at times totally redundant.

Why would they do that? Doesn't make sense because if the OP needs help, by not delivering all relevant information totally changes the course of the conversation. Isn't that right? What would be the purpose of doing that?
