@Highcastle: I wasn't defending his motivations, I was criticizing them. You are right though.

@Ark: It varies. On Sufficient Velocity, they have a strict approach to derailments, even banning you from the thread if you continue the derailment after being told to stop While there is no message limit, the threadb I'm on is at page 1080 or something, with about 25 messages per page. The lockout this creates for newbies and even vets warrants them being strict about it. In theory anyway, in practice they don't mind as long as the derailment ends at a reasonable juncture.

@KINO: it's just the natural flow of conversation, don't be mad if people look at topics that you didn't put out there.
