Does a thread have to have a topic for people to discuss it?

True. And?

Well, that's it, isn't it? This thread hasn't quite worked as I expected. Which in itself gives it some value. It shows that this forum is not quite as predictable as I expected.

I would disagree can the thread itself not become the it being discussed rather than a specified topic? As I find few threads here really have a focus, peoples general opinions therefore supercede the title.

Yes, something other than a defined topic can become the topic. Has to be there for discussion, though.

How about we talk about non topical topics.

Watch out, the empath's about.

Hmmm feeling you feel threatened....lol
