Staying On Topic in threads

[Coastie]

I understand the problem but would it be too hard for a moderator to move the off topic post to a new topic and send automated standard e-mail to the poster that it has been done and why? Or at least sent an automated standard  e-mail  to the poster that the post was deleted, why, and welcome it to be reposted in a new post?

Having been on this forum since it was created and before on its predecessor, I know this is a very friendly and helpful forum and one of the main reasons I stick with Linux Lite. A newby to Linux and/or this forum may have hurt feelings if the post was just deleted without explanation.
