Okey dokey, that was my first post and last on Redweek. I was replying specifically to Judi since she is in real estate and surely would have an opinion on closing companies. Sorry for having offended subsequent posters!! Since I am new to the site I am not aware of how to reply to a specific user.

Give the new people a break or provide "tips" for not disrupting the thread.

Julie, don't scurry off just because someone offered criticism --- there is plenty of that here (and in any other forum / bbs, for that matter). Sometimes you just have to be thick skinned and roll with the punches.

Particularly on RedWeek forums, sometimes a thread goes way off topic and then just keeps on going down that new "side road" as others jump on the new, off-topic bandwagon. The thread then becomes a chaotic jumble of mixed subjects.

Threads would stay right on topic if people would simply look at the original subject title to a thread and then THINK. If the input they are considering posting is not directly responsive and relevant to the particular thread title / subject, then the appropriate thing to do is start a brand new thread with a brand new subject title. Of course, that's a concept for an ideal world. In reality, some people will simply post what they want, where they want and when they want, with no particular regard for topic organization or relevance.

What also does not help is when the subject itself is posted in an entirely inappropriate forum in the first place. This very thread is a good example, since a "who's who of RedWeek" subject should be in the "General Discussion" forum, not in the "Timeshare Companies" forum. What on earth does "who's who of RedWeek" have to do with "Timeshare Companies"? (Answer --- nothing whatsoever).....
