barrysloateLeon- there are two ways the board goes off topic.
A thread may start with an interesting question but veer off course somewhere in the middle. I think that is natural, similar to two friends having a conversation that heads in a different direction. At that point the original question may have already been answered, so the digression isn't a big deal.
But the bigger problem is when someone starts a thread that has nothing to do with vintage cards, and covers himself by apologizing for the off topic post. I noticed this morning someone started a thread about which of two boxers would win if matched up against each other. I think you have the right as moderator to delete those without any fear of retribution.
