Kay,
personally I don't mind the idle chat and I think others are happy to ignore it. However it's a really annoying when it spills over into other topics. Some people just can't contain themselves and have to pass judgement on absolutley everything.
In this thread http://ukcaving.com/board/index.php/topic,10687.msg138278.html#msg138278 Gerbil007 does a great trip report and shows that he is a real brave guy, not only for the caving but for having the guts to pour his heart out on here. And most of the comments were positive and encouraging, however the usual suspects had to make snide comments and nit pick. We can just do without it.
