On what topics do you normally start threads?

[cosine]

Or, on what tangents do most of your threads take off?

For me, I must have started dozens of threads about music/instruments or threads that have been started by me that worked their way around to music.

I guess you guys know what I like. 

[Perd Hapley]

I usually just start threads about cosine. 

[Preacherman]

I guess that makes Fistful a co-sine-atory, no?

 

[Twycross]

Given that I have started all of three topics here, I don't think I have an adequate sample size. Over on THR, and TFL, it's mostly specific technical questions, IIRC.

[Jamisjockey]

Just usually to start a conversation or ask a question/opinion about something.  I usually reserve deep political, religious, or philisophical (sp?) topics for in-person.

[charby]

Usually something that gets stuck in my mind or really irks me.

[Guest]

 I usually just jack other people's threads.

 I can divert any topic to anarchy. 

 Like, on this one, I would ask: "Are the lyrics and melody to a song really property?"

...and to think I held you in such high regard...

Yes, we've noticed.     And I've been in your shoes enough to know whereof I speak. 

[BakerMikeRomeo]

I'm usually bitching about something.

The preceding also doubles as a general GunnySkox truism.

Well, APS is already pretty close to Anarchy as it is, since we ARE mostly self moderated here.  Perhaps the word you seek to use is "chaos".

I start thread on topics all over the map.  Music choices, general venting, food stuffs, how to get past a nasty mortar emplacement in a game....

If you are the divertee, would that make your thread conform to "Chaos Theory", or would the divertor now be considered "Captain Chaos?"

And if you were a real Clever Dan about diverting the thread, could you be "Professor Chaos"?

Could be, so long as one avoids flying shuriken.

 See, I told you it would work.   

[stevelyn]

I only start threads on how-to questions.

Any other time I just add my share of gasoline to whatever fire happens to be burning.

[mtnbkr]

I'm all over the place.  Right now, my current single-minded obsession is amateur radio (again).  Now that Morse has been dropped, I'm probably going to upgrade to General sooner than I anticipated. 

I try to stay away from politics though.  It does nothing but depress/anger me and arguing politics/religion/beer over the Internet is a futile exercise.

IT IS NOT!!! 

 

[wmenorr67]

Argue over beer.  The only arguement I ever had was never enough.  Of course now I can have all I want for free.  It just happens to me non-alcholic.

Always looking for an angle, aren't you?
