Why is the subject being changed? My question to you is: at what point is a topic so general that it should be discussed elsewhere, despite its possible ramifications on AMD stock price? I would argue the latest economic thread was clearly so general as to be well over the line.
For example, shall we also discuss the possibility of terrorism on any given day? That could affect the market, and AMD.
How about the likely outcome of the presidential election? That could affect the market, and AMD.
sgolds, this board has a narrow focus, and for good reason. People come here to get AMD specific information. I don´t want to wade through ten posts on "median compensation figures" until I reach the one post that actually contains the information I came here for in the first place. Everyone knows here that stocks don´t exist in a vacuum, and depend heavily on the overall market and the economy. There´s nothing wrong with pointing that out, at all, it´s even necessary. But it´s also clear that economy is a boundless topic, and as soon as people start complaining, you (and others) should respect their wishes, even if you think your posts can still be called on-topic somehow, and continue at the sub-board for more detailed discussions, like with the question you just asked,
I wonder how the stats on median compensation look?.
- instead of fuelling an endless, unnecessary OT - not OT argument, which makes things worse, imho.
Those with a genuine interest in the matter can follow you there (just leave a pointer) easily, while the board stays focussed and effective for the rest. I can´t see the downside here, quite frankly, but the benefit is obvious.
I can only give recommendations, not make rules, and it´s up to you if you (and everyone else) want to respect them (and the wishes of other contributors) or not.
Answers to this post or to the OT - not OT subject, or on the state of the economy should be posted on the OT board! :)
