I'm sure you'll disagree Alesis - but I always find it silly when a post is called out on this board for being in the wrong folder.

I could understand it if it was epidemic and the powers that be were trying to get some order in the url ... but the truth is the number of posts that fall into the QV/BV/H thread that don't 'technically' belong here are minimal.

Personally, I replied to the thread since I don't have the time to read the entire site - I mainly focus on my neighborhood. This was an interesting story that will (someday) affect my neighborhood (among others) and I was glad to see the post.

Yes, rules are rules - but to call out a post simply because it doesn't strictly address our 'hood - or to comment on a possible spam post - seems a bit over the top.

There are tools in place to flag a post as a violation/spam - so thats all that needs to happen for those posts. As for this one, just let it die on the vine. Or let those interested in having this back/forth about it, have at it and comment to those posts that you DO want to talk about.

Again - I'm sure you'll defend and disagree - but I just had to state my view here.

Personally, I don't care if this post belongs in this folder or another - to me it WAS relevant to my neighborhood, being so close to the waterfront, and so I commented.
