Naval subjects do tend to involve drift and can become rudderless to and fro's. At least this drift doesn't need to be
propped up by any stern warnings, so those involved can take a bow.

Thread-drift happens when someone offers a bridge to another topic, others go with the current, and still more follow in their wake.

Hold the door, please, I'm right behind you.

But it's so much fun to stop and smell the roses while you're supposed to be doing something else.

On a serious note, I've said for years that life is too short to be in a hurry.
