Gilbert MainesFrank: I certainly recall a discussion regarding whether or not NYC (and Brooklyn)dumped their garbage in the surrounding communities. But it was never my intent to make a lifelong enemy over that observation.
I do not recall the subject matter of the thread that these comments were shared in, nor do I recall whether I initiated the off topic commentary, or simply kept the ball rolling o/t. In either case, your notation is correct. I have taken threads off topic.
Please let it further be known: I have driven without my seatbelt, jaywalked and possibly other wrong things. But I continue to strive to do them no more. And with the continued support of those who like yourself, remind me of the evil deeds of my past, we will jointly achieve success in making Gil into a far better human being and who knows? Maybe even a productive member of society.
However, regarding thread hijacking, it is my opinion that it is simply a matter of courtesy to return the thread to its intended direction once you have fully explored the tangent which seemed so important.
