The code-discussion is indeed Off-Topic; the posts - which I haven't followed back to the beginning of the divergence TBH - seem to be too much intertwined with on-topic ones for the forum-software to make a technical split possible.
If at all it should simply be a new thread that makes a reference to the beginning of the off-topic postings in here .. if it actually does get discussed any longer.
