Welcome to the BeeL. Topics like this are generally blown out of
proportion and follow specific lives.

First, everyone is on topic.

Next some rabbit trails develop and occasionally spin off into new
topics and subject lines. Usually, however, they retain the original
subject line and no one has any idea what the original post was about.
But we comment anyway.

Then (where we are now) someone requests we get back on topic or stop
the thread. They operate as the conscience of the Internet, something
difficult to find. Usually the concern is valid, but occasionally it is
only because their ox is being gored. and, as a member of Peta, want to
save it.

Things calm down for a day or so, but then someone comes back from
vacation, sees the threads, and an overwhelming urge to respond drives
them to post and, fortunately, for all of our enjoyment, it starts anew.

hives. Intoxicating.
