In hindsight of the lambasting that I recieved from Sean a few posts down, I retract my original post.
As to the topic of this thread of staying on track with a topic, the nature of the board (this and others) has always shown for the most part a migration from one topic to another. Why? I chalk it up to the human thought process. One thought leads to another, and yet to another and thus over a period of time changes the nature of the topic.
Granted - some times it intentional but there are times when a topic gets a life of its own. Trying to confine a thread like that is like trying to confine water to strainer. Impossible at best.
