(23 Nov 2017, 9:39 pm)Andreos1 Totally agree with the points you have made (maybe apart from the BIB. Just slightly?! ;
However, unless we are all given a reminder of what mods define as R&O, I can't see anything changing.
I like debate and discussion (whether reading or joining in), but others don't like that or are unable to (just look at the content in these threads to see that).
So when there is comment on a missing GNE hybrid, there's often a debate about the allocations, rumours about reliability etc.
Similarly, R&OW reports from Jesmond or Blyth depot often saw some sort of comment.
Barely anything at all about Jesmond or Blyth now...
Often when the ANE R&OW thread is all that's left to read, the 'read all' button is clicked.
It has become a chore to read at times. Like you, I find it annoying.
Painful.
Like has been said in Adrian's thread on the forum, the current format gives members the chance to do just that.
As has also been said, people like to read this thread.
Swings n roundabouts I suppose.
Yep, being able to ignore a thread is always a plus. This one in particular does seem to appeal to those compulsive list makers. Bigun usually interrogates me about all the off brand buses I've seen in a day (ASD thing). With my tendency to middle aged stack overflow errors, it's often easier to just put it here and tell him to take a look, if he's that bothered.
