I bet the Politics section itself brings at least 25% of all posts/clicks.... My other bet: Z10 himself is responsible for 10% of ET traffic. (including the responses he generates)
I'd be happy if the Chit Chat, et. al., were removed, too. The net is full of boards and blogs for that stuff. It's embarassing when I point someone professional to this board and they see that crap. The stuff that makes its way into the other categories is bad enough.
agree and v.inflammatory titles & posts with no relationship to trading whatsoever... of course no one's obliged to watch but thats kinda the same with porn them, why not have a porn & pedophiles section next to politics & religion... and then we could have an astronomy & high energy physics section... eliteposter.com... thats what this site's becoming methinks... cheers 50!
Why? they're the same thing anyway. Are you guys even aware of what you're saying? People are people, they are going to argue and talk shit. Extremest are unbending in their views whether it is in chit chat or TA or software. Extremest draw out the converts, and the converts will go to any lengths to shout down others beliefs. Just as well have a reservation set aside for the extremest and converts, because you'll never be free of em.
