Straying from opening topic on threads

I think the forum members should try force themselves to follow the rules. Otherwise the forum will look ugly, and difficult to trace back.

Maybe that is the answer.  The Moderators could remind everyone to stay on topic and the participants could help by reporting posts that stray off course.

The reason I brought this up is that I became interested in some of the opening topics and then had to go through many posts that had nothing to do with the topic and finally gave up.  We all only have a certain amount of time.

it is hard to stick to the topic at every point of discussion.

sometimes the discussion may just change its track. so what? this is bound to happen. after all we are humans.

george i think you must bear a little bit.
