"Thread morphing" happens to everything, whether on-topic or off. Just look
at where "Parameter Modes In, In Out and Out" went (I promise to change the
subject line if and when I post on that thread again! :-). Most threads
that stay alive for more than a few posts devolve into discussions of
something other than the subject line would indicate, and then it's time to
change the subject line.
