As long as the thread topic is clearly labeled alerting me, I don't mind.  The one or two word titles however.......

Agree @Johnnyeager  there are a couple of folks who appear to make a lifestyle out of cryptic titles so that you don't know what you're getting into until it's too late... Smiley Very Happy

I'm a bit concerned if the virus is the only topic people are focused on ...... according to the "experts" that's not good for one's mental health--

 

Why not---

 

Read a good book and talk about it......

 

Watch and report on an interesting movie or TV show they saw....

 

Discuss a hobby --- knitting, crafting, home decorating

 

OR....Pets, the weather, plans for their spring garden, new recipes they tried since they are eating at home more.....

 

It's just not good to just focus one's life around nothing but the virus....🤔

I think it's important to stay informed about Covid, but I do  worry about people's mental health when all they think about is Covid.

And what someone may post may not even be valid in another location since each State is doing something different---so one needs to turn to their local news sources to get the LATEST and MOST ACCURATE info for their locale rather than here on the Forums....

Q needs to thin the herd.

 

@stevieb 


@SharkE  Oh yea, one can always predict how certain threads will go...  along with the stance certain posters will take... I'd say the herd has been thinned quite a bit with the inception of the 'new' boards, but would agree, there are a few I wouldn't miss were they to shuffle off and I'm sure they feel the same about me...

They must spend a lot in here why Q doesn't permanently ban them

Who needs debby downers and critical just watching for a slip up on other posters.   They need some serious 'companionship.' 

 

Q knows who they are I've turned in a few, myself. They might get banned for a few days, but, they come roaring back.

Thanks @Junebug54  I appreciate your support, and although it might have been interpreted as such, I don't think @SharkE  intended to imply I'd be among the herd she thinks needs to be thinned... Of course, I could be wrong... Smiley Wink
