Buying from afar

Well that one went off the rails quickly.
It always does when Dan appears. It's guaranteed thread derailment. I feel bad for every poster whose thread he destroys, which means every thread in which he posts.
It's simple. You never know he's there until someone starts arguing with him, and even then only if they mention or quote him. He can't derail a thread in which nobody's aware he's attempting to participate.
