Re: Questions not relevant to the forum
**NO TRACKING INFO IN THIS POST SO YOU CAN IGNORE IT**
I have been observing our beloved thread for a long time and here are a few things that I would like to share about this ecosystem of our forum.
*The primary reason this thread was created is Backlog Elimination tracking...I am sure everyone of us knows this.
* There are some long-timers in this forum whom people have become comfortable with and , typical of being human, they tend to share a few things that cannot be called strictly "relevant to the forum". For example, when our friend Juntha got fired, there was a deluge of messages to him of empathy and noone really objected as most of us have been with him for quite some time...or when Atyagi had an issue where he wanted advise regarding whether he should go for PERM, since he is a regular member, people tried to answer him....or other people who need an outlet for abusing BEC (for the right reason) write a line or two (BEC is stupid, BEC is incompetent etc etc) noone objects cuz they have been with us for a long time.
* Then, there are new guys who have stumbled into this forum and they want an immediate answer and instead of looking at FAQs they just post their question in hope of some help.
* There is a bunch of us who are "purists" in the sense that they would not want the forum to deviate from its main topic.
If we go by the strictest sense of the name of the forum: "Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Tracking" then, at some point or the other, we have all posted things that might not have been relevant depending on our views. Just to play the devil's advocate, I might consider a lot ofUSCISISMockery's posts as irrelevant as he is not really posting any "tracking" information and there should, perhaps, be a thread for "Backlog Elimination Activists" forum where like-minded people who want to sue DOL or arrange for demonstrations etc etc should be present. For people who are posting H1B extension screenshots, perhaps, there should be another forum (by the way, I am planning to post one soon
).
The point is, we have to understand that the common thread that runs through us is that we all are stuck at the Phily Backlog Center and we are all human beings here and we are going to ask questions which we think are relevant to us and that we can get an answer for on this forum...if you don't think its relevant to this forum its your problem.
Your or my objecting to someone's post just cuz we think its irrelevant won't help as people are going to do what they want to and our objections are just another post that have a lifetime of a page....another page starts and our objection post is gone.
These are just my views, you may or may not agree with them, I do not intend to start a huge no. of reply posts on this..but like I said, if someone has to, they can (understanding that those replies themselves will be irrelevant to the main topic of the forum).
