Technical clarification: The appropriate point at which to do this is 

by the first person whose post into the thread has *nothing* to do 

with the original subject ... if it's partly about the original 

subject, and partly about the peripheral subject, the subject header 

should remain the same, as a courtesy to most readers of the thread.

A great way to express it! Especially the "memes" part :-) . (OT: 

there are some really neat sites out there that can be discovered by 

searching on the word "meme".)
