"I was baffled at how this thread manage to stay up day after day when I thought the message had enough time to serve its purpose."
It's called "thread drift" and it's very common. You'd be surprised how few posts of long threads are devoted to the subject at hand sometimes and how far off-topic discussions can wander. Actually, aside from some joking around, this thread has stayed on target surprisingly well.
But yeah, I think the point has been made. I do thank everyone for all the support, though. :biggrin:
Edit: Just FYI, it turns out that mods can't edit titles, either, so I guess we're stuck.
