One OT post is ok in many cases. Even a reply, but once you get into 50 posts on it, I think its gotten past any plain informative value into just debate. Yes, some parts may be technical debate and should be in a different thread (as some was) but most of it is OT and something that belongs somewhere else. OT past 3-5 posts is OT to much.
