My little observation is that whenever someone tried to chastise another member for being too verbose or off-topic, it ended up stopping discussion altogether and with members leaving. I think it is easy enough to just ignore topics and posts that one is not interested in and as long as there isn’t too many of them, they don’t do much harm (which doesn’t mean I don’t find them annoying sometimes but I prefer to have new discussions, rather than not having them at all).

Personally I like hyperlinks in the posts to external blog posts or software sites or other forum sites, as they have always been enlightening and save me the trouble of having to Google them. Steve in particular has been very conscientious in posting links to only relevant blog posts of his.
