" Apologies for valiantly sticking to the point. It would be nice if it became more of a trend."

If you think it would be nice to stick to the point why babble on about weeds, bike rides, cheap wine deals at Tesco's etc. etc. Nice if everyone else stuck to the thread but apparently you retain the right to wreck it by deliberate sabotage. If you like the idea of sticking to the thread, what perversity drives you to do the opposite? and how do you expect sticking to the point to become a trend, bearing in mind the pathetic example you set?

Everyone can accept a degree of drift in a thread.Your version of drift is a massacre.
