Just so I am clear on this:
If we had an Off Topic Forum and this GD one was restricted only to sailing topics, does that mean that "Test" would have to be moved to the Off Topic Forum?

And does it mean that the thread about book recommendations would have to be split so that the one on this thread was only for sailing-related books, and the non-sailing-related book recommendations would have to be moved to a thread on the Off Topic Forum?

And, since there is no way to prevent occasional hijacks of threads when somebody has a tangential thought that might not be sailing related, would I have to immediately create a new thread for that in "Off Topic Forum" and move that "thought" over there?

Just trying to figure out some of the complications.
