Why does it appear that replies to an original post always stray from its question/topic?

Like, the Mid-School & H.S. games,

where the original statement goes around the room,

returns to the creator as something TOTALLY DIFFERENT?

If someone is choosing to change the creator's question/topic,

should they not start their own post,

and take credit/responsibility for IT?

Sometimes people are bored. This site may be the only excitement in their day.

My cardiologist wants me to limit my TA access because it is too exciting for my heart to handle.

Mudfid, it's like real life. You are in a conversation with someone and before you know it, that person has totally turned it into something else.

Podolin (talk|edits) said:

Mufid, I am interested in this discussion. Is this interest deductible?

Kevinh5 (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
not if it is a personal interest, Podolin.

Mufid (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
Forget the question

Just like in Tax where a question on Az Use tax became Sheriff Joe vs Sheriff Jose in Mexico\ and all the political crap that went with it

Or Here USA OUtsourcing That became CHINA's MILITARY, RANTING ON CAPITALISM et al

IF someone wants to START "THAT" Discussion. LET them post NEW and be the author & Responsibile for content & Replies

I was told this was a "TAX PROFESSIONAL SITE"

No argument with PollyAdler, the raving one world vocal "Certified" Bookkeeper?

I don't mind, but it doesn't fix Tax Almanac Mission Statement And Polly's replies are NOT tax related.

Mr. Mufid, your point of view and method of expression are so unique, so utterly unique, that they will naturally provoke a response from even the most sedate of posters. I mean that as a compliment.

If you continue to throw your posts over home plate, I will continue to hit them occasionally, but I'll try harder in the future to hit a few into right field for you. If I can keep the ball in right field I don't think you'll have any complaints.

Podolin (talk|edits) said:

My interest is strictly business.

Mufid (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
Again

JD can't keep this post on this Question, so why come into it, if not to be part of IT

Start you OWN

CrowJD (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
Mufid I like your style. I confined myself to the subject matter of your original post, no need to blow a fuse old chap.

Kevinh5 (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
No one uses fuses any more, CrowJD. They use an electrical box which contains ____ which automatically shut off.

Kevinh5 (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
I can't think of the name. But I'm wrong in any event. You still use fuses in your auto. Unless you have auto-refill.

Mufid, the question has often already been answered and any further comment would be like, well, like beating a dead horse - or kitten as the case might be. But there's a thread that someone grabs onto and it runs in a different direction. Like Cathy said, it happens all the time in verbal conversation. Sometimes we just need the humor. Do a yellow box search and look for Voided checks. There is a classic TA commentary in there that just meanders all over the place, hits the question and then it just went everywhere. Being professional doesn't mean you have to never laugh or enjoy discussing things with people. If you want to stop reading where the information changes, then just hit the back button and go no further.

Circuit breakers.

Kevinh5 (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
Yes, that's what kicks in when the stock market is crashing. Anyone here worried about another crash if one of those terrorists get their underwear bombs aboard a US bound flight?

CrowJD (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
I understand the terrorists have a new bomb. It's so special and secret it can hardly be found. This means the Pentagon must order a new bomb detector. Naturally it must be extra special and cost us a bundle.

A fellow wonders sometimes.

Kevinh5 (talk|edits) said:

And what would our Creator think of that? What if Adam & Eve had been His original Post?

After going through airport security this past week, I can only say one thing:

The terrorists won.

Tom

PS: Mufid, enough thread drift for ya?

Podolin (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
And, Mufid, in my admittedly weak attempt at humor regarding interest that is deductible, I restrained myself from linking to this relatively on-topic but humorless Discussion:Is this interest deductible?. See, now we have a really "interesting" tax discussion, thus meeting the mission of the TA forum.

I have to fess up. I've been holding back too.

I noticed on the web this morning that the missing TN mother and daughter might have been taken to Guntown, Mississippi. You heard me right "GUNTOWN".

So I flew into Guntown on a lark and it so happens they were having a special election and I wrote in a certain gentleman's name as mayor of Guntown.

Once the FBI solves this tragedy of the missing mother and child, I'd like to look into buying Guntown (pop 4,000) with the help of investors and turning it into a conservative amusement park/resort. People can fly in and wear their six shooters or bring their anti-aircraft guns or whatever and play the fool and shoot each other without bothering the rest of society.

Here is a Howitzer I'm thinking about offering for rental at Guntown. http://www.militaryfactory.com/armor/detail.asp?armor_id=98

It goes without saying that the mayor will keep his job if we buy the town and he will hold the additional title of resort manager.

Leonard, that discussion was short-listed for the Shulman Prize.

Maybe we should vote on the most disrupting people on TA, those whose aim in life seems to be taking discussions off course. Of course, Crow and his various personae will win hands down, but, before he became semi-retired, Kevin and his friends had made All-Pro for three years. And where would we be without Dennis and his musical note?

Gazoo (talk|edits) said:

What was the name of that character in David Copperfield? No matter what the discussion he always brought up the subject of Charles I. I think his name was Mr. Dick, which hits a little too close to home to some of my behavior, and proves that Dickens had a sense of humor. Mr. Dick was taken great care of by David's aunt, Betsy Trotwood, and she always sought his advice on important subjects. However, Dick had to be warned not to stray onto the subject of Charles I, which he was apt to bring up at any time.

Podolin (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
And where would we be without Dennis and his musical note? or without D&T and his literary and other high-falutin' cultural posts? And what is Gazoo talkin' about? I have heard rumors that some TA people have multiple IDs (and/or multiple personalities) but I am not privy to the secret list. I hope Mufid is keeping up with all of these responses.

CathysTaxes (talk|edits) said:

8 May 2012
I have to admit, I love it when you guys get silly, even in a thread I start where I really need help, I do appreciate the humor. Humor is good.

I do not appreciate the political BS though.

Mufid (talk|edits) said:

But one person never has his post changed: Harry Boscoe. Try to change the subject and you will be pelted with empty PBR bottles.

I'm still trying to decipher the meaning of Mufid's random capitalizations.

Mufid (talk|edits) said:

Taxaway, apparantely you did not read my reply in discussion.

Taxaway (talk|edits) said:

19 May 2012
Taxaway, apparantely (sic) you did not read my reply in discussion.

Oh, I have read your replies, tortuous though it was because of the underlines, capitalizations in the middle of words, etc. I was just worried that your keyboard might be stuck.

Kyea (talk|edits) said:

Speaking of empty PBR bottles. I understand that PBR is now the favored beer of many of the bohemians and hipsters.

Oh, and by the way let's see how long we can stay on the subject of hipsters, or bohemians, or PBR.

Mufid (talk|edits) said:

Taxaway

I meant the reply to the message you sent to my user page.

I was trying, here, to direct you to my "Thank You" reply, sorry.

You seem to be one of those here who like to pick on the unimportant (sic)

IF underlines, capitalizations are not to be used here why then are they right above where I am currently typing?

I would trade all of them for a spellchecker (everywhere but here has one).

I am a CPA, not an Atorney, they are the ones who have the words spelled correctly, but the facts all wrong.

and old saying, "Figures do NOT lie!"

Mufid, from time to time there are those of use who tease, expose spelling and grammatical mistakes (Spell Czech) and scold for not properly searching topics (that would be Kevin). Nothing harsh is meant by it, just poking fun in a profession where we must all deal with overbearing clients and important issues, so sometimes these discussions have a way of providing a chuckle as well as imparting tax answers and opinions.
