How would the counter aportion the derailment? Obviously you cant really derail a thread on your own, it needs to be a team effort, so you would need to only give a fraction to each of the derailers, but the first post would need more weighting on the basis of originaliity, then you might get a subsequent post that opened up more avenues for continued and sustained derailment so that should be worth a bit too, you will obviously get the "hangers-on" who dont really advance the derailment but are not posting about the original subject ofg the thread.
Then should points be deducted for premature derailment, it is a bit rude to derail a healthy thread that has not been fully explored.

You are correct Ed,,, thread derailment is an art,,,,, & Tom is Michelangelo,,,,

You Gents give me way too much credit. Thread derailment happens in the most effective way as the thread is pretty much done.
THEN, it's open-season. It's been a long, hot summer here. The forum shall pick up soon, I predict.
Until then, it's ONWARD and UPWARD (or downward!).
Tally- HOOOOoooooooooo
