Zeddophile you are indeed correct - the aforementioned threads were of no use to the original topic. So why leave them there?
I guess I am fighting an uphill battle with some of the off topic comments...
However, a lot of the information posted by members also contains a lot of ramblings - it's a 50/50 mix.
However, I won't tolerate mindless dribble in the technical section & the like.
'Off-Topic' is for that.
