Those of us who have been here for a while know what topics however enthralling for some cause yawns in others. Sports, whether baseball, cricket, all-in wrestling, curling, or anything else is certainly one. Others will have other examples. No doubt there are some who groan every time I wrench a thread round to bring in matters Indonesian. Some of us are not above stirring a bit, either. Might I suggest that, after two or three posts on one of these contentious topics arising from a digression, whoever wishes to continue it simply start a new thread with a note on the old one saying a new one has been started. I'm not suggesting that a new thread be started every time we digress (though it would
drastically reduce average thread length
), just in cases where the poster knows that his or her statements are bound to create an immediate counter-attack from those who hold deeply held opposing views.
