Conversations flow like this in real life, so why shouldn't they on the internet? It's hard to keep hundreds of users honed on the original topic if an interesting tangent develops. No one's doing it on purpose, it's just what happens naturally when people converse.
At some point a mod will come in if things get too far off base for too long. Do you really want them wrapping our knuckles every time someone says something that isn't 100% about the topic at hand? You would need a fleet of mods just to keep up with that.

Was going to say the exact same thing. Why not post some breaking news about opec or a prediction where oil will be when iran comes online.
Nothing new has happened especially over the weekend so the conversation evolves till something new comes up. Same as a conversation at a dinner table.
