Don't you just bloody hate it when you get into a thread, and some muppet goes off on some random tangent? Thread drift! There should be a special department to eradicate it.
There must be some guidance on how many posts are needed, before a thread deviates from the original topic.

That's why there is such a thing called "The Moderator"... Drum roll...

Other fora I visit allow very minor thread drift until OP is happy about answer, then it's open game from there.. Some rather usefull info usually pops up later - on a different topic

Are you really that interested in hire cars Mr H? Didn't you once write about a bog-basic, modern hire car you had in.. Canada? And you thought it did the job not bad?

I can make it easy for you.

Forums - they don't make'm like they used to.

But all the time, wishing I had an 80s or 90s Quattro model instead.

Oddly enough, that hire car was a VW.

I can't understand how the first thread (The Real MSH) starts of with "Don't you just bloody hate it when you get into a thread, and some muppet goes off on some random tangent? Thread drift! There should be a special department to eradicate it.

That was a comment about thread drift BEFORE the thread drift by the originator !

Then six replies later comes back with a thread drift about hire cars
