The pint thread drift occurs, is usually the point where the topic has done it's dash and has nothing more to say on the topic. Weeding the excess will not help the topic.
Please understand that this Forum is unique. It is not just about the Topics as such. It is about building relationships. As the Name implies, it is a
"Cruisers Forum". Although the subjects are what make this place, the true heart is that this place is for those that the
boating life is the passion, not just the topic of
Boating. We do try and keep off topic on topic, hence even the Off topic rules saying the off topic conversation should still remain loosely related to
boating. But if we cut all off topic out, we cut the very soul of the Forum.
