First of all, "drippy", it may help if you think about their avatar instead of their actual name. Only ShaMan and a handful of others change their avatars on a regular basis, so where's what I think of yours:
Also, you don't have the right to direct any sort of conversation. You may be the ORIGINAL poster, but that doesn't give you any sort of judicial rights to determine if a post is adequately "on topic". That's what the mod team is for. Being "off topic" allows for DISCUSSION to actually happen; instead of just some blase responses to a single post, we have various parties replying to various posts, which are in turn replies to various posts, et cetera until we get back to you, the one with a special status known as the OP. All you did was START the conversation, now deal with where it leads.
