Another point. If this post is off topic and you post an off topic comment, then surely the comment is actually on topic for an off topic thread and therefore is not actually off topic at all.
Must we stay off the original topic, or just where the topic would have drifted if left to its own devices? We'd have been talking about something else by now anyway. So being on the original topic is fine.
