Off-topic? Off-list!

Sometimes I wonder, at which point in a lengthy *off-topic* discussion I
should start so slap people on the wrist, and tell 'em to go play
somewhere else and find a list where it is bloody on-topic.

A short digression every now an then of course is OK. Why not. But a
lengthy, tiresome and eventually heated off-topic discussion -- is not.

I know I'm tired from repeatedly deleting clearly off-topic posts
without even caring to open them. Wonder how the majority of subscribers
feels about it.


Please, guys, let it go. If you *know* this ain't the right place, stop
it.

LOL.... would you believe that someone in my girlfriend's computer class 
actually *said* to the instructor that famous Homerism, "Where is the
ANY key?".... Yes, really. And they are old enough to vote.... Brrr....

Hey, you snipped the part where I explicitly said that occasional
off-topic threads are ok. :)  As you said, as a data point it wasn't
that off-topic anyway.

I am about that irrelevant, lengthy and still ongoing (!) thread that
clearly doesn't belong here.

Guys, behave.  Don't make me stomp my foot (Homer Simpson).

Well, there was a posting with some spam-related SPF stats the other day 
that proved very interesting. And relevant to how I might want to score 
SPF in my SA config. But yeah, it's otherwise getting a bit opinion-heavy 
and repetitve. Let's drop it an move on....
