It's always okay to politely throw in your two cents.
I'm not interested in all the topics either, but some want to discuss them or look them up later. The main value I see in topical threads is when you want to go back and get the information. Like the $35,000 that RC said he needed to get Haleigh back. I was blessed that members here remembered what happened and filled me in, but I would have loved links that I could see in a thread - and the comments made by members at that time. I don't have time to search it even today.
I realized other forums have long discussion threads, but we don't do it that way at WS when a case has gone on as long as this one and has this much interest. I thank God she has this much interest. There aren't enough people on WS to spread themselves thin enough to devote this much attention to so many other missing children.
We won't be opening a general discussion thread, but your concerns will stay in my mind as I make decisions in the future regarding topic threads.
