I might well regret posting this, but... many of the topics covered in the general section have absolutely nothing to do with DIY. Posting photos of car reg numbers, one's food, etc., are not DIY.
I love this site, it, and people like you have helped me in the past. I understand why the "general" section exists, but, in my opinion, it has become a toxic pool- but one which I occasionally dip into (my bad).
