Yeah, guys, healthcare borders the political, let's get it back to old guitars, not old folks :icon_thumright:
Sooo... what? Now we can not only not talk about politics, we can't even talk about anything that
borders it? Where does that end? It could be effectively argued that
everything "borders" the political.
This is the "Off-Topic" area, so it should be fair game, outside of the normal caveats. Although, I do appreciate threads staying "on-topic" regardless of what the topic is. I don't want to be reading about the merits of chokes vs. current-limiting resistors in amplifier power supplies and find myself in the middle of a discussion on the best way to make scrambled eggs.
But, you moderators have to realize that this isn't just a linked list of comments, it's a
community. That's what makes it a nice place to congregate. People learn to know each other, their likes and dislikes, become friends, do business with each other and would like to discuss things that affect their lives besides lacquer vs. poly or Strat vs. Tele. Sometimes, their mother just died, or they just had a child, or their car rocks or sucks, or their song just got published and the record company is screwing them. Guitars and basses aren't the end of all things.
You get too strident in your application or interpretation of the rules, and you'll find your participation levels dropping, and that's not good for anybody.
