Well said. ^

If the thread is started as a piece of nonsense and FT'ers what to contibute more nonsense then that is fine as I can choose to ignore the thread but when it is a factual or informative thread that gets high highjacked and I find myself wading through piles of bill5hit to find the stuff I want I get annoyed.
I agree. One of the more unpalatable trends I’ve seen here is that the responses to posters’ queries seem to vary drastically depending on whether the poster is US or UK based.
I have raised this at a couple of FT Dos but been met with the stock “it’s the best board on FT/you just don’t get our
unique sense of humour/cultural differences” type replies. Perhaps some good will come of this thread if people take stock and move back to the type of board we had 3-4 years ago.
