Of course it doesn't always happen, but it has been common courtesy on this board to start another thread to continue the conversation when you realize you have started to go off the subject. JohnL, for instance, has started another thread below to continue the conversation on Dr. Jensen.

Yes, I believe that would have been proper had the evolved subject moved to a new thread back on October 22, when the topic changed direction to be about Jensen. And I see that as the logical time for you to request a new thread. But now it is six days later, the subject on this thread is already intrenched and now basically there are two threads on the same topic. The courtesy element had sort of become a non-issue by this time.
