As is pretty typical of most websites I have ever been on comments on articles tend to drift ‘off topic’. No giant surprise on that happening–at least not to me.
At this time I need to reinforce the need to comment in the correct areas. If the comment isn’t relative to the topic (for instance a new issue) it should be made in the correct area. Some areas for miscellaneous chatter are listed below.
This area is for most anything you want to post.
This should be obvious–talk about REITs.
A popular page–obviously to have quick announcements on new issues–redemptions etc. Since I can’t monitor all the data 24/7 this page is the most timely. While I get to the new issues etc–it is usually an hour or two after some folks have the news.
Again–obvious–for Canadian related issues. Many folks buy the Canadian preferreds and discuss them here.
All of the available pages are in the RIGHT HAND COLUMN.
Because of the ‘off topic’ commenting the thread is ‘hijacked’ to another topic, which makes it difficult for those wanting to find older comments to find them as they have to wade through 100’s of ‘off topic’ comments to find what they need.
If folks could try to adhere to some level of on topic commenting things will be a bit more organized in the comments.
Thanks all for you help.
