I really do think Dr. Bob ought to move it to a new thread, to keep the original poster the focus.
I never before was in favor of forcing threads to keep on topic, and some of my favorite threads were wonderful wandering tangents.
But lately it has seemed completely different to me. Perhaps it isn't wandering tangents anymore so much.
(I don't necessarily think allowing false or inflammatory statements to be unchallenged is the right answer either, or one likely to appeal to newcomers unless they've extensively read the board before posting.)
