I absolutely agree with you and others posting similar opinions. Occasional, Random off topic happens, but that's life, nothing that interfers with finding info here. I can always skip past if needed. I actually appreciate having info regarding various churning methods here. Some in more depth, some less that I can go find more info about such as reward programs like SB. It's so much more useful having these topics in one place instead of having to try to keep track of, for example, ten different threads. Yikes, that'd be much more time consuming trying to keep finding and reading all those threads. Much more likely to miss something important or new that way. Pretty easy to just skip posts that don't work for me, such as Kroger as we dont have that here. Finally gave GS a try after seeing it here several times, very glad I saw that but would have missed it if it was in a separate thread I had to know to go search for. Sometimes the chatter is what makes me realize something works well and is worth checking out, or helps me figure out the little details that definitely do matter but I was confused about. So, I really appreciate and am thankful to those who share and discuss, and the way ideas are bounced around for good benefit for the most part. Anything I don't need or I'm not interested in, I can very easily skip over, it's really not that hard!
And, I agree, rubs me the wrong way too, someone coming to things should change because they don't like the way the thread operates. I've seen a few other threads at times, they always disappear, but this consistently is here and helpful, in my opinion!
