Is this a "trick" question, by chance?
Because so many folks make posts here such as this one and the initial post that initiated this very thread!

With the tab button at the top of the page, this is the easiest board to post on, hence a lot of errant posts. And it's also the board that is moderated the most, hence a lot more policing.
PS: I wish someone would close the 5-page long "BA/OK" thread and put a certain someone out of his misery...

SotB: It is now six pages and headed downhill even faster than before.
Moderators: This one is now COMPLETELY off-topic. Shut IT down too, PLEASE.

Then there is the related problem of mislabeled threads, or intentionally misleading topic headings like the BA/OK title referenced above.
Randy, it would be nice if topic originators could edit their headings to focus the responses and--with the wisdom of hindsight--change the titles to what they "really meant to say."
Alternatively, at the very least, moderators should have this power.
