Poll: How off topic is too far?

[Eric]

I got carried away with movie references in my McDonald's Best Buy Bucks thread (http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4563&perpage=5&pagenumber=10), and someone called me on it. I'm new here, so I want to make sure I play within the rules. I am checking to see if there is a general concensus that these type of segues are frowned upon here.

Feel free to post detailed responses to this issue. Thanks.

If your post has general significance to the thread or the conversation within the thread, than post it. If someone doesn't like it, they are entitled to that opinion, so they are welcome to ignore such posts.

Stay within the subject of conversation and you should be safe.

You do not, however, need to make a poll regarding your posts appropriateness. *hint* *hint* ;)
