Ah, Ron's just beaten me to it but I'll say it anyway. No, don't shut up, Mary. Or Milly for that matter. Waffle has indeed become a conversation thread and as such behaves much as conversations do in 'real life'. It goes off at tangents, one subject will lead on to another one and people chip in with their contributions.
The circumstances in which the Original Waffle thread was born at TOP were very different from the environment here. In fact it
was the environment and it's restrictions there that caused Waffle to come into being. There was sense of 'Can we get away with this?'. And we did, giggling like a bunch of school children. It was enormous fun
Here I think Waffle pops up all over the place. Those 'film scripts' were a moment of wonderful collective lunacy but they would have run out of steam eventually, actually I suspect they already had.
