So, from now on, if a thread changes course from the original post, it will be locked?

No, as you will know we very rarely lock a thread. It wasn't Krissys original post that caused some people offence but the subsequent off topic posts that started towards the end of the thread. Rather than delete the thread, I locked it.

Krisyv,
No apologies needed. You didn't offend anyone.
Take care.

So, it was actually locked because it was offending people, which is what I thought. I don't disagree with that at all. It had definitely outlived its usefulness.

Leslie,
Closing a thread on BE does not close it on Usenet, where the real thread exists. Defaria and Key are Usenet posters.
Apparently, closing a thread on BE also does not stop BE from importing new Usenet posts to the thread.
