It's a case of regular posters who have been here for 5+ years, and in some cases more than 10 years. These folks have become friends with each other and sometimes what is being discussed derails somewhat. That's what humans do - they chat about whatever they feel like chatting about. It is going to happen and there is nothing you can do about it. Just let it go. It happens once every month or so on average. It's interesting to note that the sub-thread of how off-topic WWII aircraft are is getting larger than the thread it is complaining about. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
