Regarding an "Other Topics" area ...

I agree with the other posters above and vote to keep the Forum's focus on lake-related issues.

After more thought on the matter, and viewing some other forums I enjoy, I have to agree that any non-lake-related areas would only serve to weaken the original focus of this wonderful forum. I'm changing my yea to a nay! Those who wish to chat about other topics can utilize their e-mail, as well as the multiple options for instant messaging, etc. Keep our forum the way it is.

I agree with those voting to keep this forum Winni-centric

It's the place that I turn to for information about the lakes region and I'd hate to see the focus get diffused.

I think this should remain a forum about Lake Winni only, please don't let it become just another place for the politicians to sound off!

I agree to keep a sharp focus for the forum, and would go further. Often threads deteriorate into topics that are totally unrelated to the original post and unrelated to the Lakes Region. The most obvious example are the digressions related to taxes or government in general, or rights vs. responsibilities flames. These simply don't belong in this forum, IMHO.

When I need a "dose" of the Lake, this is the place I come to get it.

I think Don often allowed a little drift away but it always seemed to be posts that had some interest for people interested in the Lake.

Just my 3 & 1/2 cents (inflation)
