it is hard to stick to the topic at every point of discussion.

sometimes the discussion may just change its track. so what? this is bound to happen. after all we are humans.

george i think you must bear a little bit.

We had Nausheen for that, she was kinda strict with that but Nausheen is not here, I agree with colin about the natural flow of conversation but I have seen alot of topics go under with other topics.

The reason I brought this up is that I became interested in some of the opening topics and then had to go through many posts that had nothing to do with the topic and finally gave up.  We all only have a certain amount of time.

It was just a suggestion. :)
