Naah, you're missing the REAL use:
Seamlessly "moving" the discussion to "tables" where people who might be *very interested* are more likely to be "sitting": What about all the people here who might have a burning inteerest in music-sheet-reading, but never wander into the Programming forum? T'would have been nice to *them* to dump this in Open, or the Water Cooler, or something (Entertainment, perhaps?).
Especially since you *don't* have the hassle, here, of everybody having to physically get up, bring their beers (and other assorted beverages) with them, notifying the waitress of the move if they're running a tab, seeing if there's room at the other "table" to squeeze down their butts, etc, etc.
But, fuck, anyone *else's* convenience but *yours* isn't something you care all that much about, is it?
