og stay on topic!

Some good points have been raised, and I've wondered where the line should be drawn.

If a thread is wandering off-topic, and the subject of the thread hasn't been fully discussed, then yes, the discussion needs to be brought back to topic. Most of the time, one of the posters in a discussion will bring an errant thread back on topic. I think I've done so once or twice.

When I put my hand up to be a "helper" (and became the accidental moderator!), I did clearly note that I enjoyed the quirkiness of the QF and BA boards, especially the 'apparent' disregard for topic. Some of the most knowledgeable posters here will impart their experience, then go their hardest to get a thread off-topic. I'm as guilty as anyone here...

Because the traffic here is much less than at, say UA or AA, a suggested solution is to post a new thread, with specific issues you want addressed.

Thank you for publicising these issues, and I think we can all take on board your comments.
