But forum discussion is, well, discussion, and they tend to be organic things that take in side roads and byways. If you go waaaay down a side road, then yes, it's probably sufficiently interesting to be worth starting a new thread. But a brief digression from a thread about ink wells to, I dunno, cats and their tendency to sit on any piece of paper you're trying to read (for example) doesn't
really justify a new thread, does it? You're a dog lover? Just skip them. Or politely point out things are going off topic and make a contribution to steer it back. S'not hard. All in all, not really worth the effing and blinding.
Regarding avoiding the Sale threads in the What's New list, I've found starting any visit to FPG on the
Classifieds forum page and double clicking the box with the speech bubble to the left of the sub forum headings sorts that out. You need only double click the blue ones, as those are the only sub forums that'll have new posts. Once they go grey, they're marked as read.
