What is the "Fleetwood Ma... HELLOO!!!!!

It's funny (or maybe it's not) how threads detour in fights and the topic is completely forgotten, I posted my thoughts about the FM sound at Rumours forum, but later realized I was in the middle of trolls, answers, laughs, ironic phrases and lot of stuff I can't even remember.. What happened to the topic?? Is it permitted to still posting about it?? Do I have to open another thread?

Not only this thread, it happens lot of times, specially threads with more than 2 pages.. frankly my dears it's a waste of time.. cause I see they never have a conclusion or agreement.. It's a waste of time, and bits and bytes

C'mon, gimme a break, Carlos. After all the years you've been here and you still can't understand that threads take on a life of their own? It's a fact of life of the online world of message board threads.

The real waste is your complaining about it. If you don't like the direction the thread, direct it back to your original topic.

Really people, I wanna know what the Fleetwood Mac sound is!

I don't complain about it cause it's just a fact here and other places and I can scroll through it - but it is abit annoying when there are pages and pages and a small fraction is only about the topic at hand. Like I said, not complaining, just acknowleging that fact. Plus, sometimes the threads turn into more interesting subjects anyway. But I see your point Vallavic.

I've never had a problem with threads veering off-topic... it can be rather enjoyable and enlightening sometimes.

But if you want to resume discussing the original thread topic, all you really have to do is say, "to get back on topic," and then add your thoughts. Most of the time the conversation will come back around, to one degree or another.

It's needless to complain about it - because it will never change - I had to come to terms with this long long ago. There will always be someone hijacking threads - and well it has gotten worse in recent years, it did not used to be this bad...but that's just the way it is now

btw, Villavic, this is totally off-topic

BUT I LOVE your new avatar!!

There is a very big difference between a thread being "hijacked" and one that just veers off topic naturally.

Who ever posts things off-topic? Does this really happen?

It is my belief that the Fleetwood Mac "sound" is the sound they have when they play stuff. It's an interesting concatenation--or metaleptic conflation--of sounds that are pulled together to create a whole. Fleetwood Mac pieces have often been efficient at cohering. The question has always been, however, to what extent is the Fleetwood Mac "sound" recoverable from the pre-cohering phases of individuation. I believe there is something to that notion, but I am undecided as to its extent.
