This topic has been split (and appropriately, I might add). It would be really helpful, when that happens, for the moderators to note such and post the link to the spin-off topic:??How much help do members need, and what kind??

Brian -- I agree that this topic should have been split, and I thank Shal for doing that.?

Such a problem arises when someone (usually several people) fail to recognize that they are drifting off-topic, and end up essentially hijacking an existing thread. Folks too unsophisticated to avoid doing that probably won't comply with the implied remedy either.*

Every message in GMF is moderated, so the split can be enforced that way; but in an unmoderated forum you might was well be tilting at windmills. So I usually just wait until all the digressions are done and then clean up the mess afterward. It's the only way I've found to avoid engaging in a split-and-mergefest.?
