So, I do appreciate your post, gofurman.
Thank you for expressing your valid concerns and thought.
It is both good and bad that a lot of posts on UFFP are not serious - people like be be humorous.
Also, many of the posts (probably mine, I acknowledge) may be going off in a slightly different direction, but still related, and may seem off topic and/or not really “answering” a previous post but instead continuing a “discussion” in an informal and hopefully an at least semi-interesting way.
We have a combination of users here.
The same individual users have a combination of various styles - depending on the topic, the day, the context of what has happened, the mood, etc.
In any case, I agree with you that when a serious question is asked, it deserves a serious answer which should be challenged and called out if the answer is just wrong, or is answering the wrong question.
I feel it would be easier to read, UFFP, particularly on a little IPhone screen, when one could be read replies without having to scroll through a whole slew of previous replies again and again and not knowing what one may have missed reading or may have forgotten.
Also … even if “the answer is in the game notes”, that does not necessarily substitute for a serious, correct answer - unless it’s something EXTREMELY obvious - such as “what was the final score”.
