An interesting thing was brought up to me in regards to the value of UT. During our interviews of candidates for a position, I was surprised on the number of applicants that indicated that they did not subscribe nor use UT. When asked why (since I have always valued the information it gives) the common reply was there was way too much trivial stuff being presented that it became a waste of time and not that much value.

After thinking about it, i can see where there is getting to be too much "clutter" responses in what sometimes is a valid thread. Looking back, i see political opinions surfacing, book or movie discussion etc. that have no bearing to the original thread.

I would be interested in what others think. I know the solution is not simple, only common sense from the contributers of this clutter to be a better member. Maybe just restricting a reponse to any one thread from any one member would be an answer. If there needs to be more responses, then start a new thread to extend it. Hopefully the new thread would stick to the original topic. I woul think that after 2 or 3 responses, if there is still an interest, that a new thread would certainly benefit all.

Only my 2cents worth. I hate to see the value of the UT go down the tubes because of a handful of members getting carried away on personal issues outside of the initial threads purpose.
