Not at all. Digress means to move away from the subject at hand - it
does not suggest that the topic moved to is unimportant, simply that it
is not topical. The subject at hand in this forum is the Squeezebox and
associated technologies. Not philosophy.

I think you're reading way too much into this.

I can't believe you just name-dropped a university department :)


But I digress (sorry). To get back to the point on hand, I would
support MrC's suggestion. It seems that once any forum reaches a
certain size there needs to be a general topic area not related to the
actual subject matter, a sign of maturity!
