Often, what you don't see is that there may be several posts that we delete that are off topic so we then close the thread since the question was answered and then the thread was hijacked. Sometimes, the OP sends us a pm to close the thread or actually posts in the thread to close it. If the question has been asked and we are getting 5-10 posts of exactly the same answer, there is no need to keep the thread open. Bottom line is, if you want to post something off topic (in your example, "how great Batleth is," then make a new thread that is about that topic.
