And I picked on Bronne here too (back in post 258) so don't think it is just you, Osreb.

Here is the achillies heal when it comes to posting on narrow topics: Threads covering narrow topics ALWAYS run the risk of being swamped and overrun by pics that are closely related, but much more numerous. This is why I also have worked to keep retro naturist and voyeur beach pics out of my naturist thread. And I will continue to work to keep my "nude beach by country" threads clean also, as well as the Campus naked run thread. So, be warned - what i see so often is that these thread slowly become generalized, and Osreb, you play a role in that, sometimes a big role. A generalized thread then becomes just like any other generalized thread, and so on and so on. "Anything goes" may be the watchword for your thread by that title, and I have no intention of ever challenging you on that because that is YOUR thread, not mine. And any time you want, you can start your own Russian pic thread, or whatever, and I won't touch it. In fact, you can create any rules for it you want, and I will abide by them 100%, no matter how strict they are!!

If we all don't try to maintain some control over thread integrity with respects to topic and reposts, then the forums will just become a free for all. There is so much content here as it is, just try and imagine what it would be like if every thread was called "naturist pics" but really contained hardcore pics, etc. I will always try to be specific about my thread topics on page one, post no 1, and I don't write that stuff there just to amuse myself. And sometimes you have to read the fine print, too, because "Russian" can mean a lot of things, and if that is the only word you remember, then well, it just might not be enough.

I see a lot of people joining the forums these days who tread carefully and take pains to respect thread topics and repost issues. You can tell when they write stuff like " hope this is OK to post here, etc" or "let me know if this is a repost or is off topic" etc. These people strike me as being veterans of the boards, and so they know how they can harbor all these little turf wars and territorial battles sometimes. Probably they have all been burned, too - it happens to every one of us, believe me.

So, I've been ready to pounce here in this thread because I knew the day would come when it would start to veer off course. It was inevitable. And when that happens in other threads, Osreb, your name seems to always be at the top of that post. I know you would rather surf and post than organize and read, but you are like a speeding motorist sometimes that doesn't stop to read the street signs or speed limit signs. its just green light all the time.

Which is, once again, why our cars just keep colliding.....
