The turns that some converstations have taken in here have been, to me,
informative and entertaining and they're one of the reasons why I enjoy this

disrupting to other members of the community who might be trying to
follow the original subject. How would you feel if you had started a
new subject only to later see the discussion taken in a different,
unrelated direction. Guys, two words "thread hijacking"
Sorry, I was curious about the subject and thought to ask some
questions about the current line of discussion. I'll keep my
inquiring mind to myself in the future (fat chance).
Cheers,
