Pete, when Furyflyer2 asked everyone to stay on topic, I read it as coming from the person who originally started the thread, not from the moderator at all. And I actually agreed with the comment.

I am very interested in learning how to do a pirouetting loop and could care less how much time everyone spends on the sim vs. burning fuel etc. If you want to know that, then start a thread asking everyone for their comments on that topic.

Too often a thread goes off track. Not to say that there isn't a lot of really good information shared when it does go off track, but unfortunately a lot of people will miss out on this great information because they don't want to learn about the thread topic.

Just my view.
