I'll agree here I think

I do appreciate what you're saying and understand.

But a small part of me is confused.
Because some time ago (I tried to find the thread and couldn't), there was a discussion on this topic....
And my understanding of the thread, was that posting 'off topic' threads was ok, and those that objected, simply didn't have to read it. Freedom of choice and all that.

I also thought, when I saw the new drop down menu added to the part where you create a thread, and the option of "way off topic" was there.. I thought it was for WAAAAAAAAAAAY off topic and it would be a way for those that didnt want to read personal threads to avoid them.

I'm getting familiar with the blogs and am trying to use them.

I just feel that we're getting mixed messages? or am I the only one confused?

Because sometimes, I do want more than 1 or 10 opinions as I'm sure other geeks who post in chit-chat sometimes do. Sometimes I want tonnes, and we don't always get that in blogs.

Anyway, if I'm wrong and I HAVE completely misunderstood, that's fine. Just let me know.


THANKS

I think what GMG said as quoted above sums it up really..... so if its something that can be debated, discussed etc then fine....if its just more of a I am going on holiday, funny thing happened today etc, no real discussions then it should be in your bogs....does this help Victoria...?

Angie summed it up pretty nicely.

Though there will always be grey areas... if it is something you would write in your diary (if you diary was available to be read by 17,000 people) then blog it. Otherwise discuss it in a thread.

Wayyyy off topic is a way off topic discussion. However the team is reviewing the prefixes so that may change anyway.

FWIW: Buff is strong in this context, but it is interesting to see how people are interpreting it

HTHs!

I think I get it now.

So, then a post like "this happened today when shopping for wedding dress" that's just about my day, is blog.
And then a post like "need your opinion - which dress is best" is ok for the chit-chat?

Please let me know if I've got this right.

THANKS

Buff here in the states is slang for naked i.e "He was in the buff" Or also for someone who is very muscular i.e "Did you see that buff guy?"

and I'm on my way to the blog room GMG!!

PS. Yes you are very buff...er, the second meaning!

By golly, she's got it LOL.

buff.....means polished...."need to buff up my floor"......are you shiny GMG...?...

Blogs...what a great thing they are
Good thread.

Ok, good!

I was worried. Didn't want to get in trouble and get sent to a corner

lol...I agree...

I know not what my life was before blogs...

Sometimes it is hard to know which way to go...thread or blog?

I just blog it...always a safe option for me...

That's what he is SHINY, and after shouldn't a Grand Master Geek be shiny??

"Get your shades ladies and gents to behold.....the great and auspicious....the wise and kind.....the buffiest of the buff GMG!!! (Please do not stare directly into the Grand Master)."
SPEECH, SPEECH!!

So, can someone be a double buff, i.e naked and gorgeous


Marlise
