True, but if we held strictly to a thread's original intent or even its overall drift, we wouldn't end up (as we often frequently do) exploring some really informative tangents.

Your posts are as exact as a scalpel. Their precise, factual, and informative. But even you occasionally return to a topic previously mentioned. You've faulted me on this before, but my reply while after your statement wasn't directed exclusively at you.

And you know, I am beginning to realize that your thinking is far more linear and precise than my own.
