How much FUT do we want? It seems that using FUT has become the thing to do
as soon as any fragment of a message is off-topic. We then end up with
several threads as one continues on with the main thrust of the message
while one or more additional threads in different groups expound on the side
item. In the past it seemed that the thread would stay in its original
location until it became completely off-topic to that group and then it was
shipped off to its proper home (usually lugnet.off-topic).
As an NNTP user it is easier to keep everything clean if the threads develop
in their original location. Perhaps I am seeing this more than normal due
to the current increase in ADMIN posts and FUT's.
This is an observation/question not a complaint about this post in
particular. Shiri spends a lot of time helping people and explaining how
things work around here, it was just this post that made me think about this
topic.
