Does Anybody Know

Yeah, we go off-topic occasionally...usually about five posts after the OP! That's what makes us loveable...and unpredictable. I look upon it as preserving national security...it confuses the terrorists!
I think the record is the third post that ran it off the rails and it was the OP that was responsible for the derailment.

I think the record is the second post!

As I recall...(which may not be correct!)...I started a thread and in the very first response (post #2), Adrian derailed it.

That was a couple years ago, however.

So, @Beater , consider this the oasis in the endless morass of uptight guitar fora. The main expectation is that you keep it friendly!

You may be correct. And it would be like Adrian. I was thinking more recent. Maybe back a few months.

I'm pretty sure as recently as a couple of months ago we had a post 2 derailment.

Although, Im proud to say, I started a thread that has yet to derail. Post #1809 and counting!! It is nigh impossible to derail!

Of course, the real test is to see who can bring the thread back on topic as gracefully as possible.

I'm pretty abrupt about it. I usually start off with something like, "Getting back to the OP...." It's not too subtle, but it works.

That’s pretty funny right there. Don’t care who you are.

My line after responding to the derailment is usually something like…. “ I now return you to the regularly scheduled thread.”

Hey LE, you should start a post titled The Derailment Thread. Impossible to derail and you would be two for two. :p
