I know the feeling, Lush. I've been in that situation, too. I've learned the hard way that the conversation can go any direction, and any attempt to put it where you want it will generally be completely ingnored. I think I've even gotten a neg rep for saying someone was off topic. That was very long ago, though, so I'm not sure.

You people, there is no reson to feel like a failur. This is just a part of the magic that sorrunds conversations! You are not supose to be abel to control them, but let them evolve and see what interesting things come out of them.
Ofcourse when there is a specific topic you want to discuss, it can be a real pain when people are off topic. If it is only a few post's then live with it, but if it goes on and on, people should consider starting a new thread. The point is allthoug it can be annoying when people is off topic: Do not feel like failure. You have sparked something in people and inspired them to take on a different topic and who knows what comes out of it.

Actually, Thin, I would consider that pretty successful.
For me at least, I would call anything over 20 a pretty good thread. And if it goes a few pages, well, I mark my calender(not really). I've started a few threads, and I've never had one go over some 60-some replies. If you want, you can also guage success by what reps you get from starting the thread. On some of mine that I've gotten just few replies, I've received many reps for my good thoughts.
