I'll tell you another thing: there are people that get all upset when a thread about topic-X is posted in a subforum about topic-Y, and will jump in and be hostile and all fussy about it's existance. I would never do that. If there are people interested in the topic, who the hell am I to object to it? Live and let live. So if you or HillRider or anyone started a thread about Scotch Whiskey in the mechanics forum, you would NEVER see me jump in and run my mouth how this topic is unsuited for the Bike Mechanics forum, and moronic in general, and "please lock it" etc. I'd shut my mouth and let people have their fun and experience exchange. I am VERY respectful of any thread, started anywhere and with any topic - because there are people with interests different than mine, and may benefit one way or the other of that particular thread. If I were a mod, I'd never lock threads, either. If there's no interest in the topic, people won't post and the thread will slowly drift away. If there is interest, then let it be.

Therefore: if you start that alcohol-based thread here, I'll be the first to defend it's right to exist even though I don't even drink alcohol.
