Bob, jumping in a little late here, "thread hijacking" really isn't very polite, and I'd appreciate it if you (and all) would make a little more effort to avoid that. The problem is this: One of the very few faults with the still-new forum software is that it's not easy to sort out sub-threads in longer discussions, and it kind of messes up a good conversation to have off-topic replies salted in. (Alas, I'm contributing to this by responding to you, but I think it's a sermon that needs to be preached.)

It's so easy to start a new thread asking for NZ Pinot recommendations and discussions ... why bury it as an off-topic reply in an unrelated thread?)


Please, let's not get ugly here. Thread hijacking is an ugly word Bob. It's not what happened here. We call it "thread drift". It's what we do best here at the WLDG! 8) In fact I should probably be renamed the Thread Drifter! :P
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?

Um,(shyly speaking) hello everyone.
Uh, who is Brett and why is he causing so much trouble?
And, who keeps kidnapping a guy named Thread?
This is pretty deep stuff; someone should look into this!
It seems almost homicidal.

LOL

Underneath it all Aaron, we're a homicidal group! :D
