Never underestimate the value of a good digression and/or ramble

I second that. The sites allure is not just because its an information portal. That would be plain boring.Yes we do fool around, and some get carried away
. According to me the site is not any different than what it used to be when I joined, with the addition of an exceptional individual or two
. I dont think a blanket limit on the # of posts is the way to go.

If Mishej India had not put up this post, I sure was going to do a similar post this evening when I go home.
While it is always nice to be saying \"one or two individuals\" (as jake puts it), or the indirect way mishej India has put, there has to be a limit to being nice. It is only because of everyone being nice that this problem has now cropped up. We know that the main problem is TK who I find has to post his comments on almost each and every thread. (I have at times looked at upto 15 threads on the latest replies, and find each one of them has TK's post in it).
So I agree with Jake and MR that putting restrictions on number of posts would not be a perfect solution. Yes it would serve the purpose of not letting someone go on and on on everything and every topic, but at the same time create a very boring atmosphere too, to say the least. this forum brings together people's achievements, frustrations and experiences and that produces discussions which mostly used to (USED TO) lead to some constructive knowledge and enlightening, as well as a place to come for relaxation. However, lately it has become more of a playground and does not produce anything worthwhile.
I will also be frank in voicing that I expected Jake and MI and PP to remain aloof of the nonsense that is created by our beloved member, but they many a times have been adding fuel to the fire - though purely for fun and entertainment - but I would say that the best way still to let things not go out of hand is to put restrictions on ourselves. I would also have to at the same time say hats off to TK who has been successful now for a long time in continuosly getting attention of so many active members and steering the thread to a direction he gets more fun out of. I wont be surprised if he thinks that it is not him but all the others who are jokers who keep responding to his posts and get into various serious and silly, but worthless discussions.
Anything in excess, even fun, is bad. So in my view, have a restrain on yourself, and this forum will turn back to what it used to be - a place to learn, share, gain knowledge and have fun!

Chandreshji,
I had gone through your post. I had actually drafted a letter to you (as a post) but then discarded it as i want to remain neutral till the other moderators decide and advise me as to if i am guilty or not.
I will wait for their decision and their instructions to me as to how to conduct myself in this forum in the days to come.
I am sorry if i have upset anyone's feelings in the meantime.

Guilty as charged
The thing is someone has to say something...else the one persons(the most prolific posters) opinion is going to be on all posts unopposed. Will people still be interested in the board then?How will that reflect on the forum? How do we handle this?

You mean to say that you're not satisfied with one moderators decisions/views, and now want to know the verdict of the other moderators, thinking they may speak in your favour.
I'm sure there's unity amongst our mods, and they respect each others views in this matter.
