This is taken from a mate of mine on another forum>

There are 3 kinds of thread derailing, 2 are useful one isn't.

Derail 1, a thread has served its usefulness eg question answered thread dead, now moves on to some light entertainment, not really anything wrong with that, these forums are as much about community as they are info.

Derail 2, a topic is becoming heated and likely to go nowhere but down, is suddenly derailed and goes from the beginnings of a flame war to an entertaining thread. Again not a big problem, fun threads are better than flame wars any day of the week. However

Derail 3 a topic is valuable and full of info and is being conducted respectfully, derailing this thread serves no usefull purpose and stops the thread serving the useful purpose that it was happily serving.

I often go the Type 1 so hope I haven't pissed anyone off by doing this! ;)

Prince George, B.C.
A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"
"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."
The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye."
"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird shit!"
"Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet."
