Coming back to the forum has become less and less attractive as many of the thread spin out of control and Off Topic. A very good example is the point of diminishing returns http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,8358.0.html which a forumite asks a very valid question and is ripped totally by some forumites for their own feeling of grandeur. Having the pleasure of commenting without going through the pain of cogitation seems to be the order of the day. This we have seen many a times forumites deleting themselves due to the singal-to-noise ratio being excessive. With many of the threads (not all), it is a waste of time that scarce resource can be spent elsewhere.
