You're labouring under a misapprehension. The OP doesn't "own" the thread. Starting a thread on a public list is like throwing a party. People are going to come. And talk, damn their impudence! It is good to stay near the topic, but threads will inevitably drift unless they're talking about something utterly trite. It is good of an author to mark his/her departure from the main topic, should it be significant, with a subject change. Or even a new thread. | How would you like it if i came to your house You can stop there, thanks. You continue to confuse a cooperative anarchy with some kind of stringent autocracy or heavily premoderated forum or something. As with your docstring formatting opinions or your spaces-vs-tabs opinions: mandating behaviour is a little pointless - it can't be enforced, few directives are unambiguously one sidedly good and so mandating stuff is divisive and will drive people away.

So the idea that we are required to manage it is ridiculous. What we are having to manage is us. - Bill Ballantine, marine biologist
