I was in the middle of typing in the other thread disagreeing with someone about nothing important, thinking - what am I doing - me posting this is no better than the posts I'm complaining about.

Well it's really up to the moderators. I love getting updates from the developers. We're really lucky to have someone explain how the game is being developed, and why, and our opinions on what makes a good sim are really listened to by the developers - that just doesn't ever happen. But 60 pages for an up date thread, most of which is us lot talking nonsense. My (very) personal view is that updates should mainly be for the developers to post, and for us to give reaction, whether it be praise, criticism or a question. That will already make a fairly long thread, but we could do without:
a) complaining about the questions of others, going OT etc - that can either be done in another thread, or via a 'report' to a mod that you think someone's question is inappropriate. Or if a question has been asked before and you really want to make a point, just quote the question and provide a link to the answer.
b) discussion over what should and shouldn't be in the thread. Everyone has an opinion, and if we all give OT opinions in an update thread, the thread is ruined.
I'd like it if mods just removed all other posts from an update thread, just siting the reason (eg, OT - post elsewhere).

I suppose we all could try something equally novel and perhaps post only questions and comments on the topic at hand and leave the insults and jousting out.
LOL! I crack myself up! A guy has to dream though.........

Indeed, that would be good. And since we're into dream land, I think world peace would be lovely.
