I'm making a clear point to HZence that revealing a little bit about your personal life isn't going to cause harm to anybody. Some people are paranoid about even telling their name over the internet because they're afraid stalkers might find out who they are, however, in reality this is incredibly unlikely as many people have the same name. You should only really be concerned if you give out your address, and even then, it's improbable that people are going to come after you. I'm sure Indi's quite capable of assessing any risk involved with him making the above post. The point I'm trying to make is that I'm not trolling, I have some valid points about a serious issue in this modern age that I wish to make clear.
In regard to your comment, who's to say that a thread is going to be 'poorer' because it's stemming in a different direction? If we all stuck to the one topic then the Forums would be filled with hundreds of significantly shorter threads. Likewise, even if the discussion does go a different way, all users are still able and should feel inclined to post a reply to the original subject and give Indi their regards. It’s only natural that the subject matter of a thread will change many times in its lifetime and it’s not something that should be prevented, we are just simply communicating on a casual forum, are we not?
