Having an area like that wouldn't make one bit of difference to those who feel they have to drop in their 'everything else' related viewpoints into nearly every discussion thread they enter. The only way it would make a difference is if the moderators of this forum had the time to look at every post and decide whether or not to move the topic/thread to the 'everything else' thread. This forum is a privilege provided by PG Music. It is not a democracy. As someone pointed out earlier - plenty of other places on the internet to share your viewpoints. Doesn't have to happen here.

There are forum rules that PG has established. It's up to PG to enforce them. See that button up on top of the screen that says 'Forum Rules'? Click it and read.
