How long do they typically last before going off topic?

So the discussion is.. how many responses do you make to a thread before you get bored and start to digress?

Speaking of off topic, why is this in the general science section?

....don't give us more work to do than we already have.

In answer to your question. How long is a piece of string?

If you start to purposefully take threads off topic then read rule #2 and prepare your anus.

In regards to digression, did you have flaming or silliness in mind?
I don't know if flaming is the right word. What I mean is arguing without staying on course. Name calling and all that.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
