I like to think it's akin to panning for gold. More often than not, you'll end up with a lot of useless gravel rattling around, but sometimes you'll come across a gold nugget of conversation.

I suppose it depends on your definition of a 'gold nugget' conversation. I've found myself spending more and more time in 'OffTopic,' and there tends to be less vitriolic posts. It still happens, but not nearly as often. Perhaps because the conversations there are more frivolous than can be found here.
