Isn't that why we initiated the NHZ policy? If somebody has a serious topic they don't want de-railed, they are welcome to label it as NHZ, and we respect that, and if people don't, the Mod's will enforce it.

This thread followed a pretty typical pattern, I agree, but again, the OP participated in the threadjack, so again Bob, why is this any skin off your nose? There are tons of over-regulated, heavily modded forums on the internet where people can go to get a question answered, then the thread dies. In this case the thread continued AFTER the OP's questions were answered in a slightly off topic direction, with a bunch of "DIR" trained divers poking fun at "DIR" stereotypes.

Initially, all I did was post a picture indicating that the thread (as usual) had taken a detour.

In the spirit of NWDC, I think it's a picture you will get used to seeing ...

BTW - when did my bodily functions come into this? Also - it's been quite a while since I've been involved in a thread-jack like this.

If someone doesn't like the flavor of where some threads go, then they can probably feel pretty confident that they're not missing anything of substance by skipping the rest of the thread and spending their time reading another one.

brihno - you're going to fit in here just fine; I'm glad you found us. Keep us posted on your training and when you arrive - we're already waiting for ya.

Dude... it was. Or I've been inhaling the same fumes that you have.

A Mutant Frog Kicking Rabbit - Who'da thunk it?!

....somebody should adopt it for a mascot.

Haha! wonder why that is? One I do like anytime is that song they used in the Sherlock Holmes movie when he's fighting that old-style MMA bout. The Road to (something can't remember...). Anyhow that one's awesome.

What the heck is this DIR you speak of? Fruity Beer Bad, Arrogant Bastard Good, Mothership Wit Very BAD!

I know nothing of Rabbits and Bobs picture made me laugh.

Martial Arts, Tactical Shooting, All things Black, Standard Gear and training, Friends who can fix things and Arguing on the Internets.

This is my life. This is our life. May we live forever.

Oh, and what the Hell DO you do with a drunken sailor? I didn't make it past the first verse.
