No one has ended the discussion. Neil is entitled to his own opinion, as is everyone on this forum.

it appears in this case, the original poster starby, is not complaining about this discussion, so perhaps he's happy about it.
perhaps he/she should edit the OP to include 'and anything you feel related/interesting' to cover the future posts, indeed perhaps everyone should include such text in all their OP posts so the Mods dont feel the need to impose their personal view of how a thread is progressing or in what direction it finally takes?.

We do have rules that state that a thread should remain on topic. Inevitably, it is often a judgement call whether a thread is on or off topic, That is, logically, a personal view.
The mods only get involved (in a moderating capacity) when a thread starts to wander widely from that subject. We, however, can still post without it being a moderating decision.
Now, any discussion of the style of the moderation on this site is
clearly off topic in a thread about NTL's PVR, so if you have any further queries, please PM them.
