[QUOTE="weem, post: 4926401, member: 9470"] I don't mind those posts - obviously it's best when they pose a question or ask for some kind of feedback, and I think in a lot of cases when they don't, they just didn't think to, forgot, or don't realize some people prefer them that way... ...but with that said, I'm cool with them. It makes me think about the subject, and where I stand on it. If it has nothing to do with anything I can relate to it's usually pretty obvious either via the Title, or by reading the intro - in either case, those are easy/quick to avoid. Not that I think you are wrong for questioning it, or having any issue with it (for all I know, you don't and you are simply asking) - which leads me to a question... Why post this here (in the META forum). I would assume it would be to request those kinds of posts to be moved or removed (since those are common post requests here) but I don't get that feeling from your post (that you are trying to have the mods do anything)... so that leads me to this idea... Why not post this in "General" as a question to everyone? I would love to see some discussion about the topic (more discussion than you will get here in "META" on it) - find out some of those reasons from those who do "opinion dump" from time to time (I don't ever opinion dumb because... I don't think anyone would care to hear it [un-solicited that is], hehe). [/QUOTE]
