Re: Mammogram

It is confusing I agree Ruthio

What then is the purpose of the "General Chat" section?

Surely if someone just wants to tell us the date that their Mammogram appointment is, it belongs in General Chat.

What is the purpose of all these forum sections if they are effectively nothing more than general chat on various topic/subjects?

Why do there exist over 20 individual section for frivolous chat and yet just 3 for discussions?

May I suggest that Health is a primary concern for Over 50 year olds and thus there ought to be a "Health Issues" section in the Discussions section.

Perhaps that would be a good way forward for all

Re: Mammogram

Well I can only say it made sense to me mags, debate belongs in debate section, health reminders etc in the health section. Seems very simple to me.

I agree.
Trouble is, you start a thread, but you don't own it, and you have absolutely no idea how it will develop.

Look at Loyalty...ended up a doggy thread, should be in Doggy section!

Ah but who decides what's frivolous!
Good luck with that one!
It's like walking on eggshells...you might post something intentionally lighthearted and suffer a poisonous diatribe as a result!

Re: Mammogram

To be fair, if this thread was purely for the purpose of Julie informing people when her Mammogram appointment was, then that achieved perhaps it should have been locked up !

Serious thread Mags? OP tells us when her Mammograph appointment is, hardly a "serious" thread, but yes, it then progresses naturally into discussion about Mammography itself which I agree is a serious discussion, but then you tell us we can't have that discussion here. So how can it still be a serious thread?

Re: Mammogram

Honestly I don't really understand why you haven't just locked it up.
If we can't discuss Mammography in this thread then what is there left to discuss that is on topic with "knowing when Julie's appointment is" ?

Re: Mammogram

Usually threads are closed because of bickering or something mods need to look at, unless you are suggesting all threads that run their course have to be locked.
