popbumper Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Chlorophyll is the light sensitive chemical that plants use to convert sunlight into energy. While not in direct relation to the Krebs cycle "per se", mitochondrial activity remains an indirect result of the energy synthesis.

maxg Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Minn, A reply might be relevent to a previous reply rather than to the original subject at hand. Threads are like discussions - they often meander a bit - straying miles from the original subject. I dont think it is something to get too worked up about - just scroll through the ones that look irrelevent. Ces (I think) Try the top right hand drawer ni the bedroom.

garymd Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 When someone new posts a question in any of the subject areas, I see the regulars here go out of their way to help and rarely stray off topic. It's the old-timers threads that tend to go in different directions, ie, my "Multi-Channel SACD" thread. I really don't see this as being a problem for the 30+ new forum members. Ususally they join AFTER lurking for a while. I guess they like what they see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdridq Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 SBC is trying to buy up AT&T. Didn't the Feds break up AT&T because it was basically a monopoly? So now we'll be back where we started 30 years ago, only the monopoly will provide worse service. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a thread starts out about 2-channel in 2-channel, then goes into something else, I'm not too worried about it. People can quit reading it when they want. But if a topic is about basketball in the 2-channel, I'll probably move it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Didn't I post my "Terps" thread in "General Questions?" Is that TOO off topic for this forum, even in the General Questions area? Serious question Amy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Amy, Not to make too much of a fuss but did this thread really need moving? Its subject was a question relating to off-topic posts in the 2 channel forum (which was unsaid in the title). Now it is here - in General - it makes no sense. Plus - did you have to move it whilst I was composing a reply - you really confused me with that one! I thought my interenet history files had got screwed up - it has happened to me before.

All I ask is to follow the rules listed in the forum policy, and stay away from religion and politics, which inherently causes problems related to the forum policy.

oscarsear Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Amy....start a thread entitled "lifestyles" to better classify/accommodate seriously O/T subjects. Heck a lot of these turn into chat rooms and they chat about stuff this genre finds entertaining and informative. Not only have I made friends here but I'm in the process of expanding my system with more confidence than ever before. In other words my limited audio knowledge found just exactly what this site is about while being entertained and challenged as well.....an ideal business platform. I imagine Klipsch would rather have more participants than less. Bringing more people into the fold requires the envelope to expand or at least be flexible. Half-a-million hits and growing.....PWK must be smiling somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben. Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Gary, That's the way I took it, and thanks. I just meant a only few people cared about the adherence to "on Topic" content. All- BTW, I didn't mean posting about politics or anything like that. This was just a reaction to somone beefing about thread "hijacking". No disrespect intended towards the Amy or the rules she enforces. There have been plenty of occasions where a newcomer asked an innocent question, which resulted in a six page flame war over exactly how much power one should have in one's amplifier. That's bad for the forum, and not at all what I was referring to. Many of us post predominantly in 2-ch, as that is were we spend most of our time here (probably too much). I don't expect anyone to really care if I start a thread about my dog or my favorite kind of fish. (Within reason, of course...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, by the idiotic posts here to your question, some get all a flutter. As I stated within the past 2 weeks, if a person posts mainly in 2 channel and they have a pertinent point, then 2 channel is fine. A point by Minn Male regarding the Monster thread and he noting that it was dicsussed "about a week ago" led to a post by a respected member with close to if not more than 3,000 posts asking how to get to General Questions. If you take the original post and replies to that post that answer the question asked, without telling the poster that they should do this, that and the other thing. Then subtract ANY banter - which then SHOULD be included in General Questions - that would answer your question. Oh - too note : Amy is an ADMINISTRATOR - it IS her choice of where SHE wishes to post. Her standintg is higher than an a Moderator. IF you read a good number of posts on 2 channel you may find a question, an answer to the question, statements telling the person they should do this or that. Also the famous question within a question, leaving the original wondering. Then, even the most intolerant for Posting in the wrong area start to throw in jokes, hey, how are you, my Daughter..., . There are examples from all of them as of yesterday. A do as I say, not as I do attitude. Then you have the same posting to the Poster, Hey, I tried this and I wound up with XXX. So their postings of where things should go does not hold ANY weight or water. Or Posters ask a question completely different that The Posters and receive answers. As on TV, if you don't wish to read an O/T, don't click on it. I am guilty of jokes, but I have also brought answers to the question asked. If you read a question, and it is obvious that the person wants information on a particular make and model, the the 2nd points about "I owned, then I bought because I thought..." withouy answering the question the Poster asked, that's beyond advice / not answering their question. If O/T questions are restricted to General Questions and matters relating to specific Topics, then replies should be restri8cted also. Questions about 2 channel, HT, Pro=media, DVDs should be posted in the pertinent Topics. There is one exception to the rule of posting that is allowed, I state that I enjoy that allowance I go to "Posted Today," not any specific Topic.. If we go to Topic Only and General Questions for the rest, any commentary, not involving the Original Post should then be taken to General Quesrions and in the Subject note Q/T comments, replies, discussion relating to xxxx posted there. My answer is NO and it's sad when an Administrator asks a question and people don't have the courtesy to answer yes or no and back it up. It is also sad when threads, especially from Newbies, never answer their question fully, but receive 20 - 39 posts - about things not relating to their Post.
