If I have a Q about which board is approp. for a particular Q, on which board do I post that Q?

The Q I’m referring to is a request for assistive info., and not a scientific one.

If there were a board called Mundane Question I Wish To Ask, then that would fit my category.

Um that would go probably under MPSIMS but if it’s not that random it could go in IMHO.

Thank you.

MHO for the record:

It would make more sense if they’d separate the  
Mundane Issues People Offer  
from  
Mundane Questions People Ask Expecting Replies

It’ll have to do. MPSIMS is your best bet in this case.

Um…so you want a forum for people to make mundane, pointless statements,

_ **and** _

A whole 'nother fourm for discussion of mudane, pointless questions?

Boy, oh boy, I’d _love_ to see a message board you ran.

Oh, come on now, **Fenris** , I imagine “Mundane Pointless Statements.” and “Mundane Pointless Questions?” would fit quite well into a _Mundane Pointless Punctuation-Oriented Message Board._ In fact, the MPPOMB could also have a “Mundane Pointless Exclamations!” forum, as well as, perhaps, a “mundane pointless, capitalizationless, and punctuationless” forum, a “(Mundane Pointless Parenthetical Statements)” forum, or a “Mundane Pointless…Ellipses” forum, depending on the demands of the users.

Everything has its place in this great big ol’ world, m’boy, everything.

You can also e-mail the mods of the various fora where you think it might go. We check our e-mail more often than we read the board.

By the way, did anyone else notice the irony of this thread?
