This rule is intended to prevent discussions from being arbitrarily derailed, not to stifle thread drift, short asides, jokes, or similar things. If it appears that a poster often brings up a particular topic in threads in which it only has a tenuous, if any connection, that will be considered a breach. Responding to part of an on-topic post in such a way that leads to a different branch of discussion will likely not be considered in breach of the rules, but may be split to a new thread as noted under H1 and H2.
