Doug:
You mention/convey that the constant correcting and redirecting of posts is "out of hand." I, too, have noticed redirecting and the healthy criticism of certain posts, yet I have hardly ever considered it unreasonable or out of hand. Would you mind pointing out where this sort of excessive (perhaps unfair) action is taking place. I just haven't seen it. But I'm certainly open to your claim.
In contrast to my internet newsgroup experience, I have considered this board generally civil and courteous. The redirecting of posts is essential to keeping the board well managed. Otherwise, posts/threads get started where they shouldn't and this has a variety of ramifications. My experience.
