Thread Drift

[Medlin Software, Dennis]

For my usage, I can see where I drift. I am often replying to the email notices, which may be to a post which has already drifted from the OP I have skimmed or forgotten.

For me, I will have to stop responding to the email notices (so when I do participate, it will be less timely), and if I want to respond, make sure to use the site only, and reread the OP each time. Candidly, this will likely result in less participation for me as I can be long winded, and expand (or drift) the OP, and at this point in my world, working to maintain an OP, ignoring the email notices, and having something which - to me - is at least somewhat useful in a general chat list, is not productive.

Don't assume any other intent, there is no hidden meaning/message/. I am fine with the rules and actions of moderators, I am well past any desire to be one.

Yeah, sometimes reading a post or a discussion thread will trigger a memory about which I will post.

I am an introvert so I can keep those thoughts to myself

For me, those add on items are what keeps me participating. The direct answers, one can find via google-fu, and likely get close via AI search. The human experience and anecdotes are the things of value - to me - in a group, and will often help me see a bigger picture, or a different solution. Sort of like the thread about the non profit with accounting troubles where I could share my multiple experiences with letting the old entity die and not drag down the future. It happens every day in for profit (UI dumping, changing to a new entity to let debt die, etc.) and it can work in other sectors too. Was not really a direct answer to the OP's question, but if workable for their situation, could be a wise move (and maybe the move which benefits the entity the most). Or to ramble on, the same way where any corp officer/director which did not take COVID relief, and does not seek all things to benefit the corp, was derelict in fiduciary duty, and should have been terminated.
