POTM for this message.
Alas, it is very off-topic and thus is buried in an inappropriate topic. I very much encourage you to submit the same message as at the
Proposed New Topics forum. The subtitle will make a wonderful new topic title.
I'm confident the new PNT will get a rapid promotion.
Now back to the topic drift/abandonment problem. This topic has come back to life after being idle for pushing two years. I think I need to kill it (close it). Will leave open for about 15 minutes to catch any messages in preparation.
If anyone wishes to make a case for this topic being reopened, go to the "Thread Reopen Requests" topic, link below.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.
