You are completely missing the point, Bill. It is cumbersome to ignore stuff on this board if you don't know it's coming. Hence our periodic attempts to flag up "Food & Recipes", "Politics Warning", and similar topics - in the certain knowledge that some of us will thereby choose to avoid loading (repeatedly) to a thread identified as a topic of interest but subsequently converted to a topic of less than interest (and quite likely nothing to do with language either, though that may be no bar in itself). Tain't much to ask - I am glad to avoid offence to those who find (say) politics boring by clearly flagging something like that. And you need to just be aware that the interminable minutiae of a foreign sport is about as interesting in a world conversation as watching paint dry.
