train derailment

This is a good thought and I agree, but I also think that the very nature of a discussion is to evolve and take on new avenues and such. Sometimes it gets a little out of hand around here, but it is usually fun and in the spirit of friendly banter. But you are right, there is a place for the back and forth conversations that go on around here and this is it.

I actually disagree, when a forum is this small. But I'll bow to majority opinion.

I think that's about where I fall Joe. I like just letting the conversation flow, but I can also understand that it can be frustrating for someone to start a topic and not really have their question/idea/issue addressed before the topic turns into a circus of tongue-in-cheek sex jokes and such. That's not to say I don't enjoy that kind of buffoonery as much as anyone else here, because I do, only that it seems to crop up quite frequently.

i agree with all of you on certain threads we should leave them at the thread its self and not change the subject but on a few other threads i think it is acceptable and like duty said if the original poster ask us to stop i think maybe we should..

If it's any consolation, this place stays much more on-topic than my family website

Please refrain from sidetracking the thread with posts about other sidetracked threads, duty.

Sorry.. I guess I still need some more training.

If it happens again, I'll have to hit you on the nose with a newspaper.

Don't know if I get a vote yet, but these forums make me laugh, which is why i continue reading them. Those Madurofan/Kuzi/Joe/Kasper streams of consciousness are our modern day equivalent of James Joyce, I do believe. I have so many rules in my life, if I have to add a rule about keeping threads on track, well...

Did anyone get the pun in my response?

I disagree as well we don't typically go off topic until the topic has been exhausted. Maybe we should keep people's review threads, Capt's Sunday morning smoke, etc, on topic but aside from those recurring threads I don't see the harm in derailment.
