One of the things I like about this group is the way threads wander
from the original subject in such bizarre ways.

For example, a thread on Beefing up a Deck ends up talking about Allo
Allo. A B&Q SDS thread ends up talking about buses. A decking thread
finishes with a discussion about apostrophes............


Great innit!

There was a terrible queue on the way to Asda earlier. Maybe people
just think the threads you start are boring - or they have a life and
want to speak to people that have more than one interest.


But I didn't start all the threads did I ?


Thread drift is a feature of a well established news group with members
knowing something of each others background, likes and dislikes and
where any net-nannying tendencies have been squashed:-)
