This thread is a big ball of pollution that never leaves the front page of the forum. Why isn’t it in the tech forum, anyway?

I can't speak for others but I certainly don't do that. In fact, my primary purpose for creating this thread was to consolidate the information to a single location. As an owner with issues myself, I found it difficult to track down one comment here and one comment there spread across dozens of threads spanning several years. So the last thing I'd want to do at this point is start a conversation about this topic in a different thread. On the few occasions I've seen somebody asking something
directly related to this topic I have PM'd them a link out of courtesy for the sensitive feelings of some of my TRF brothers.
As far as why it wasn't put in the tech forum, it's because the original purpose was to gauge how widespread of a problem this was. You don't have to be a watchmaker to realize your watch is running 5 minutes slow.
TRF is not by anyone's description a predominantly technical audience. Putting a poll in the tech forum would have drastically limited the responses. I'm sorry if the thread is like a needle in your eye, but are you equally bothered by the "how to post pictures" thread which is literally stuck on the front page for eternity? Seems like ignoring an uninteresting topic is oddly challenging for some people.
