Salty Sam Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 [quote user="Dick Smith"]There have been a few occasions recently where (new) posters have started new threads on old topics rather than post a supplementary question in an existing thread. What's that all about? Is it this 'fear of hijacking' that some posters seem to feel - that somehow the OP has a proprietary right to the thread, or what? Whatever the reason the end result is a proliferation of threads discussing the same subject which just makes life very complicated for anyone looking for advice. Has anyone else noticed this?[/quote]"Fear of hijacking" - that's a laugh! There was an interesting thread running on Bread Makers which suddenly descended into gibberish and has now fizzled out.

Dick Smith Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 Is it a 12v kettle?I need to know that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Don't you need to know more about the pot ? I don't think it was 12v if that helps? I knew a potman once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 I was getting round to the pot, and pondering different methods of measuring the blackness. Of course, a blackened 12v kettle would mean that eithera) it had been plugged into the mains, orb) some bimbo had put it on the hob, orc) a passing Goth had painted it black.Which is the most likely, do you think?

Miki Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 No idea to be honest, I don't do much cooking and our kettle is chrome but I think the pot rather likes the kettle in our house but one can never be sure of these things. I would rule out the goth though but put the bombo in the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Sam Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 ".....the end result is a proliferation of threads discussing the same subject which just makes life very complicated for anyone looking for advice".May I suggest Dick, that you go back to page 4 of the 'Bread Maker' thread. If ever there is a case of life being "very complicated for anyone looking for advice", then surely this page highlights it. Bread Makers may be one of those reappearing "threads discussing the same subject" - until that to gets hijacked by inappropriate contributions.
