Nothing wrong in that - conversations often wander off a tangents.

I don't see anything wrong with a thread wandering off at tangents, as long as the initial query has been answered

Too many forums out there don't allow " off topic" conversation on a thread, glad this place isn't one of them

Quite so Kaz...

I can think of one particular vintage wireless forum where the regime is so rigid it's counter productive.

On one occasion I recall a conversation wandering into an exploration of the historical accuracy of "Von Trappe's" Mercedes in "The sound of Music" being right hand drive - historically correct as it happens; though erroneously cited as a 'movie mistake'... And quite relevant in a forum that seeks to support vintage audio-visual equipment... The discussion had centred 'round Austria's history until the Anschluss. Is history not central to the accurate preservation of old things???

The admin there started issuing all sorts of strange dictats and warnings! - A little further exploration revealed threads being locked after a few weeks inactivity; others being 'pulled up' for discussions drifting off to discuss one brand or radio when the o/p had been about some other -

Don't know WHAT is going on in the forum owner's head; but it's not healthy...

Point is conversations 'drifting' often allows inter related issues to be explored and connections made - this is good, healthy and allows ideas to develop -especially important in a creative context.
