It's thread drift and, in line with Usenet convention the thread

has
even been renamed. Live with it or, if you don't like, it just set
your newsreader to ignore the thread.


What convention? No Charter or FAQ I've ever read has sanctioned

this.


The unwritten convention that thread drift happens and the best way to
'manage' it is to rename the thread, prefixing it with (OT) or
similar.


Wonder why it's unwritten? Because it's not a convention!
If it goes off topic, take it to email.


Cheers,

Jason.
