Why do some threads go on and on ?

The problem is now with that one is people coming on, not reading the thread and just jumping in without a clue of what the discussion ended up being. It's spiraling out of control now.

Agree. But I love Goofy Disney Dad's repeated attempt to ask OP where she flew to.

I don't think I'm ever gonna get an answer either.

Persistence! Some day you may find out.

Oops. I think maybe I just did that. I wasn't going to read the whole thing, but I wanted to participate anyway.

Maybe I should ask just one more time.

Sooner or later, every thread is about Spiderman.

A detailed mathematical analysis indicates that the original post is rarely responsible for the length of a thread. 78.3% of the time, posts #17 thru #21 provoke and push peoples' buttons, leading to pages-long threads.

I'm coming late to the thread. I didn't read any of the responses, but I wanted to add my thoughts that the reason threads won't die is because people post previously debated thoughts without reading any of the previous 20+ pages.

There's hot spot topics that go around. The main ones that you will see, in no particular order...

ECV's
Allergies
Strollers
MDE
FP+
Disabilities/GAC
ADR's

Can we add Blackfish/Sea World to that list? Talk about beating a dead horse!
