..does there have to be a point...games/debates/silly threads/'lists' of ML and otherwise/polls/top songs of top years/sweepstakes/predictions of sports/reality TV and anything else predicted...in our lives they have no 'point' at all but we're all members of a forum and expect some type of entertainment/activity and some variety as well...so out of respect for everyone who takes the time to organise or take part in any of these things or contribute to a debate/make a thread etc, I appreciate it and don't see it as 'pointless' at all because otherwise we'll all be sat here staring at each other with not an awful lot happening to make the forum interesting and then for me, there really would be no 'point' in being here at all.....



EDIT:...and I don't make a choice to be on a list but if anyone places me there for whatever reasons, good or bad, then so be it...I don't see the point in objecting to it and especially when people have given their time to do it, I am who I am and not a number and the same for everyone else, it doesn't change anything about them...

..and I will also say, why is a 'list' any less valid entertainment than a game..?..it's all aimed to provide us with a bit of variety and as we all know, games often cause arguments etc for a few but are still enjoyed by many and therefore have a 'point'... and on a forum where 'free speech' has often been mentioned, I don't think we should judge what other members find entertaining because as we know, and like most things, that's all subjective anyway...
