I tend towards the view that, where a forum brings together a group of
people with a shared interest (as here), it's almost inevitable that
through time, some form of community will evolve and many of the
members will want to expand the scope of discussion within the
community. I think it's wise
I was actually trying to suggest that we each take responsibility for
trying to recognize when we're tending to migrate from the posters main
point/question, and volunteer a move to a new appropriately titled

I suspect most posters already attempt to take on the responsibility you
are seeking; however, you can't legislate morality. Some will fall off
