I agree with you, Marina: however, sometimes discussing unrelated subjects gives a deeper look into how some members feel and think about life. By seeing how they respond to various subjects reveals many things that may not be revealed during normal conversation. So discussing some unrelated issues may help give deeper insight in the inner person, like a little window. 😊 For instance, after viewing some of the ways some people respond to various questions regarding unrelated subjects, I would never marry Tommaso in a million years! I read Tom's posts most of the time, but I read ALL the things the girls post because I want to know how they think and what is important to them. One discovers more here about others than they might ever conclude from the profiles. Also, there is an entertainment aspect; some people come here just to see what Tom is going to say next! That always draws a crowd! I feel that everyone is less guarded and more open here and I find that valuable, even if some of the chatter is a little off topic. Still fulfills the overall goal. Just my perspective… Thanks for all your work. 😊 YOu are appreciated!
