There is a chat room associated with this forum for that, plus a myriad of other places for people to just go and talk. Why waste space and Rich's money (and mine and all the other contributor's) on pages and pages of off-topic chatter?

OH my goodness I didn't even THINK that far! I guess it's very easy to forget that bandwidth does cost money these days and that each of these posts takes up a little more of the bandwidth paid for by all the amazing contributing members and Rich especially.
I'm SO SORRY for any of my posts that fall under a chit-chat category and I should have been more observant that this thread is, in fact, not in the general chit-chat forum and even so, I'm sure several of my posts were most likely unnecessary to even bother taking up the bandwidth they used.
I do agree however that this thread shouldn't be completely deleted because through some of the random chit chat and banter several awesome points were made and even more questions answered. I agree it's very tiresome to sift through some of the banter to find the useful on-topic information, but as I was one of those early contributors to unnecessary banter, I've followed every single post as it was made (for the most part). I've learned quite a bit from some of the banter as I'm sure others who may have read the thread have.
I'm not sure of the best course of action to take with whether the thread should be moved or not, but as Josh did start it and he continues to be the main contributor on the thread I'm going to say whatever he believes is best, probably is. I will also agree with any decision made by a contributing member who may believe their money was wasted on our unnecessary banter as it is obviously their right to know their money is used wisely and productively.
So anyway, in the future I, too, will be on facebook and you all are welcome to come find me ^_^ Lindsay Robusto in the St. Mary's MD network (it's a college). I apologize again if I offended anyone or if anyone is upset with the outcome of the direction of this thread and I hope that we can come to an agreement and there will be no harm done
