On topic though....
I'm a HUGE promoter of the frivolous stuff, mainly because alot of the serious tone threads are a) religious - I'm not interested either way b) US politics - I keep up just enough to know whats going on c) I dont have time at the moment to read and ponder all the stuff I want to comment on.
I get what you mean though Sky, the tone has changed and I really enjoy the mix. You can get your fix of flame, debate and knowledge...and some cutesy cheekiness thrown in.
I'm really hungry and its only 10am
