Well, this is my first post on the new site. A thousand excuses for not being around but busy with work is the best. Anyhow, here's my tuppence worth. While Robert created this board as place to share bike related stuff, many of us have developed relationships through the board. As such, we have many things to discuss that are only tangentally or completely unrelated to our bikes. Just like in the real world. As such, I see no problem with off topic posts with the following considerations. That is, I think it should be relegated to a specific forum and IF the board can handle the traffic. Robert should not have to continually upgrade just so we can chat about whatever. But if the site can contain it...no blood, no foul.
