In theory, "forking" is a way to branch off from a posted topic. A purely hypothetical example:

Somebody asks about an inexpensive place to stay and some idiot moderator replies by talking about a nice place to buy canned tuna that just happens to be a few blocks away from an inexpensive hotel. If the idiot could just hit the "fork" icon, he could create a new thread specifically about canned tuna, and the forum would show the original posting in the new tuna thread so that it doesn't appear as if the moderator had been ruminating on canned tuna all day. Et voilà, the original thread would stay on topic. Unfortunately, the program is not working well and the moderator is awaiting a solution from the programming gurus.

LOL! I had a good chuckle over your explanation of the "fork test". Such an interesting yet astonishing example you provided. So clever of you to incorporate your rumination du jour (canned tuna) into an existing thread!

No, really...the fork idea is good...if one actually could employ it!

All I know is that it made me so hungry that I broke into my stash of expensive tuna yesterday and ate some! It was divine.

When I saw the thread title, I just assumed it must be some type of restaurant/food review issue . . . .

Hmm, that could make a nice name for a resto review site--"La Fourchette d'Epreuve"

I used to work for a magazine that had two monthly articles by resto critics. One of the critics called his column Fork in the Road. I've always liked that title.

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
