i was just ready to start a thread on this myself.
in the introductory paragraphs on this site, it reads:
"If what you want to do is support someone more than discuss an issue, just post to whichever board they posted to"
when a post is started on a certain board, and changes direction, it kills it when it's redirected. i see a great loss here for those who are involved in it. i don't know why this happens, but it does.
if a post is started on the wrong board, i don't see a problem with moving it to the correct one. it seems to keep going.
it seems to me that this rule really needs to be bent. it's a horrible feeling when you're engaged in an emotional discussion, to have it redirected and just fall away.
and, according to what is stated above, it is all right to post to the board that the person you are answering posted to (unless i'm reading it incorrectly).
anyhoo, a little leniency here would be much appreciated.
