I quite like the OT threads. There's not too much happening right now besides Ronnie's social life and US tour rumours so it's hardly surprising is it? By the way BV said this is not OT but I think that's a Norwegian sense of humour coming through.
It is highly ON TOPIC to tell people why their threads may be deleted and/or deleted. That is why this thread is ON TOPIC vs the IORR policies, because we talk about the Stones vs the rest of what happes in life.
It is like a sign saying there is a bump in the road. The bump is not expected to be there, you might say it is "off topi" vs the road, but without the sign you may be in for a big surprise.
