[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the person on the College Forum.  The most recent example concerned a thread about a *specific* school within FCPS and whether it would be better to send her kids there or to a *local* private school, vis-a-vis college admissions.

Enter the SF poster(s) who derail the entire the thread to discuss Bay Area schools that are completely irrelevant to the topic of that thread.  The poster who was upset was correct to be.  The SF posters totally ruined that thread by trying to turn it into a source for Bay Area parents.

Most of these threads aren't really affected by non-local people posting - but when the subject is very much LOCAL, it would be much appreciated if posters could stay on topic.[/quote]

I think this partly happens because people browse Recent Topics where the thread title attracts more interest than the subforum.  They don't always notice what subforum they are in.

I also notice that some people just read the OP and then active page (last page).  Or they skim.  Lots of people miss key facts in the next to last page of multipage dialogues.

I think it's futile to tell people to "go away".  It just makes them mad.  [/quote]
