Sandy Point Updates. Please stop going off topic!
 
The Sandy Point Update thread was closed because people had to go off topic with their foolish comments on Holiday Names. PLEASE KEEP THESE COMMENTS off discussions about Lake Region issues/questions. These comments just muck up topics that folks have an interest in.

The weren’t foolish at all, just off-topic.

When there is an off-topic post in a thread I usually ignore it and hope that other posters will do so too and stay on-topic. When the thread starts getting derailed by the off-topic posts I will usually close it rather than delete a list of posts.

There were 7 posts that were about the name of Columbus Day and off-topic. In this case should I remove those 7 posts and re-open the "Sandy Point Updates" thread?

Yes, I hope you'll do that, because otherwise posters can't participate in the ongoing Sandy Point conversations on that thread.

Please do—I think that's a much better approach than just shutting things down.

And sorry if by addressing the day as both (I did so because many states have adopted the second or recognize both) threw things off!

Think said started it!! [emoji23] It can be playfully fun for a few cars in traffic to go around a small cul-de-sac before getting back on the main road. I think deleting the detour posts makes sense for the reasons stated. Thankfully seven of them is fewer than in some other threads.

I have removed the off-topic posts and reopened the Sandy Point Updates thread.

Please stay on-topic when posting in a thread.
