because this topic went kind of... off topic, so the main (important part) was left in its rightful place...
TFM is quite right. When a serious topic degenerates into pages of completely off-topic blabber, the important posts are often completely missed by those who only look at the most recent posts.
This is, at the very least, a discourtesy to the topic starter and those that might be interested in that subject. Although that nonsense has come to be expected on the Small Talk board, it has no place on serious boards.
In future, the
magic will work differently: Off-topic posts will simply be removed from support boards, including any serious topics on the MP board.
