There is a fine line between discussions and feedback. It is not 
that obvious what is OT and what is not. I consider this also to 
be a limitation of the forum SW which is just a news group. If 
someone is going too OT, then a moderator can choose to delete 
the post or put it in a new thread but how much control does this 
forum give to a moderator. Modern forum SW has an option to move 
several posts to a new or existing thread.
