   Because when threads digress too far from the topic of a newsgroup, it   
   drowns out the useful stuff that DOES belong in the newsgroup.   
      
   I enjoy the digressions as much as anyone, and I like to continue with   
   the tagled drift of topics. Much of it posted by a handful of people   
   that I feel a deep kinship with. So I am trying to see if a thread   
   that's gone off the rails can be moved without losing the people in it.
