That's annoying in "linear" boards because you can't ignore a sub-discussion, but that problem doesn't exist in the hierarchical layout used here. But I guess it depends - are you going to start a huge discussion about it or just a couple of posts? Might it be of interest to other readers of the topic?
So, predict the future, then make the choice that leads to the best future. Good luck

If you mean the Pet Fish thread by that - nope.. a thread in a programming forum where the OP complained about thread derailing.

OK, because the same thing happened in the Pet Fish thread (guilty as charged)... 
On another note: How about them Dodgers?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If its specific for that user, then PM them.
If it's of general interest too, then post the question as a new thread, and PM the user and ask them if they could respond (or reply in the thread with a link to your unrelated question)

What is Sascha's favorite phone OS? MS, Google, or Apple.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You think that's bad; I'm trying to set up my home network again after moving this weekend. I found that I had four five-port switches. Now that I'll have all my computers in one rack I think I can consolidate into one sixteen-port switch.

I think it would be fine; what are we here for if not to inspire each other ?
Many moons ago the technical discussion forums, like the C# forum, really were discussion forums, not an "upscale" version of QA (that's an observation, not a complaint, and is not meant to express an opinion that an "issue," or "problem" is not a great starting point for a discussion!).

Thank you, Bill! I secretly hoped for this answer I think I'll go with this spirit and just re-title a reply if it's not on topic, then it should be clear enough.
cheers, Sascha
