> That’s usually true. But in the OP here it sounds like **shadowofneo** was suggesting people discuss 12 unrelated topics at once, and that’s not going to work. If he wanted to start a thread about one of them (other than this moon thing, probably), that would be alright. [I think this is about something else, though.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=689110)

But EVERYTHING is related! How does one talk about the space program without reference to the availability of malt liquor and the cultural impact of the _Lassie_ movies?

And that’s just ONE example! Or is it?

Well, make a list of everything you’ve done so far.

Then try it in reverse.
