well.

In an unmoderated group like r.a.p., it is virtually impossible to stop
thread drift.

Folks who feel comfortable with each other will make off-topic comments;
others will join the fray, and suddenly there is an outpouring of passion.

I doubt that the proposal is serious. Even if it was, I doubt that an
aviation/politics group would change human nature and prevent
thread drift in r.a.p.

YMMV.
