I also propose - and not for the first time -  that Phil, or anyone else for that matter, is banned from changing thread titles half way through a thread. (moderated) annoying it is! 

One is deeply saddened by the news of your annoyance, covert St Nicholas, and even more saddened to realise than one may, no matter how inadvertently, have been its cause; but the fact remains that the forum software configuration allows the very action to which you object, and some members (myself included) consider it a Very Useful Feature [TM].   May I respectfully suggest that you add a new thread under "Forum Administration" / "Suggestions for Improving the Site" calling for its removal ? You could even add a poll to that effect

** Phil.

Or a poll to see if onions should have a poll ........

Yep, I read it as well and I'm quite happy for it to happen even admitting that I've been responsible in the past for starting off topic drivel. Perhaps we could post our of topic replies in this thread and then just place a link in the proper thread that should stay on topic. Then there'll be minimum disruption  and everyone will be happy. And an example which links to this drivel I've just typed.......

Seymour Papert and the Logo language loved the recursive loop. It was, and still is, a very useful programming tool.  Nice to see it here in a simple form Gav.

Phil, I also saw CH's post, but in light of recent event's / emotion / posts, chose to read it and take note, cut some slack and accept it for what it is. You clearly didn't.  If everybody was restricted to posting only thread exact relevance replies, this forum (all forums) would stagnate and ferment or simply die.  It is impossible to not post a tangential thought at times and I'm pretty sure your guilty of same at some point.  Unfortunately it is a self -generating flaw in the internet forum structure.  A bit like malware and viruses. We don't like them but we must manage it as best we can.

Oops, I should not have posted this reply here. It's on topic.  Or is it? Where should I have posted it?

Should be soon.
