I would think they would be connected, and to think otherwise would be ignorance of the heighest level. That or if I followed your example and compartmentalized it all I'd be confused as to why they didnt post in the 2 existing threads which seem more appropriate.How would you like it if you made a thread regarding improved scouting and someone started discussing how to make a parser to categorize units - not to categorize scouts specifically, not specifically related to scouting - a completely seperate topic? That's all I'm saying.
In the mean time while you're killing off your thread and all that is in it and stifling what discussion was going on be it directly or indrectly linked to the original post, maybe we can get somewhere and back onto talking about 'something' rather than the mindless policing of a threads on topicness.
