It's a fun place to get opinions... even if they aren't based on facts.

We have a small group of people who feel it necessary to give an opinion of virtually every post. I guess they fancy themselves experts on everything. I find it annoying.

Sunny, did you know there is a button at the top of each thread to rate that thread?
I don't think individual posts can be rated, that would indeed be interesting.

I think people keep posting not knowing the horse is already dead. Just whip it a little more and maybe it will hop up and run...

When a thread gets really long, like the one about Katie Belles, no-one bothers to read all the preceding posts.
So the same info tends to get posted over and over ---

Didn't your mother ever tell you not to tell secrets - especially in public? That's just so wrong. ::
