Do you answer the OP's question, or do you just go off on your own rant?!

[matdras]

What I really enjoy is when the first reply answers the OP's question & then the peanut-gallery goes wild with really ignorant responses about what they believe. (or what they heard)

It’s as if a tender maraschino cherry has been placed on top of the chocolate sundae...and the syrup is still too hot to eat. Why the heck don’t I have any sweets in the house?

 

[BargeOn]

Yes

Who.

 

[jeffbrown]

Yes

BargeOn sed: Who (multiquote not working??)

"Cream"

Just because.

Both.I plead guilty and am taking the fifth. Or a fifth. Whichever.

I usually answer the OP; probably because I don't read the whole thread. Use to; but not so much anymore. TB is HUGE now!!

 

[dspellman]

I usually answer the OP's question before I check the rest of the thread.

And then I get hosed for having missed "the rest of the thread," which has gone completely off the rails.
Helluva thing.

I only clicked on this thread to see how long it would take for a totally unrelated post. The first one! You didn’t disappoint. Well done.

Perhaps this has been well-trodden territory, but I always enjoy a good poll!

How often does your response to a thread actually answer the OP's inquiry (where applicable), or do you just go off on a rant, travelling into the depths of your own bass labyrinth?

...I ask this because I just did the latter

I aim to stay on track, but I've noticed that respondents often misunderstand the question

This one time, at band camp...

 

[Nebadon2000]

I tell them what I'd do & if people have a problem with that, I spend the rest of the day defending my position on the subject!

Yep, that's how its done and can fill a few pages of 'For Entertainment Purpose Only' content.

 

[Erable]

Too bad...
Entertainment is great but too much of it kills it...

[dtripoli]

Yes, I always answer the OP's question.
Do I go off on my own rant? A lot of times but it relates to the original question.
Then again, it depends on how many beers I've had.

 

[bluesblaster]

Im sorry, I wasnt listening .... it was a what now ?

 

[awakefie]

it should be obvious to everyone that the answer is a tort pick-guard and some flats.
