I don't think anything in this thread qualifies as Off Topic in the accepted sense though.

This thread is a classic example of how Pete77 drags a thread off-topic;
12 off-topic posts in a 20 post thread.
I want to make it clear that the only person I disapprove of in this matter is Pete77;
everyone else is just responding to his pollution of the thread.
Anyone who is watching Big Brother will recognise Pete's tactics as being the same as Charley's:-
Invade a conversation
Start a Fight
Act hurt when people you've p!ssed off react to you.
Pete77 is the Charley of TCM.
