I thought long and hard about all this ... (ok, so maybe just
for a few mins while I was sitting on the dunny) ... and what
I came up with is this :

- Variety IS good, topics do tend to get a little stale and 
  can result in distasteful name calling and such.

- Hearing other peoples opinions is good.  Many may be the same
  and therefore get a little boring/repetitive, but it's often
  worth wading through what you don't like so that you can
  discover that rare gem of inspiration that someone may post.

- Telling people to move on to a new topic is RUDE !  It's almost
  like saying "I don't want to hear what anyone else has to say"
  or "The last few posts on this topic were really boring and lame"
  (How do you think that makes the person who posted it feel).

If you are fed up with a topic, then just press that [N] key (look
at your keyboard, it can be found just above the [           ] (that's
the space bar :) and between the [B] and the [M]).  If you don't want
to read it, then don't.  Simple.  You may still have to briefly view it
while you flick through to the next post, but surely that's not such a
drama.

Now instead of saying "Hey all, this topic is dead, lets move on to a 
new one", why don't YOU just come up with a new topic.
