I feel I have to reply because I'm one of those OT posters. I did ask once whether there was a special list for posting questions and opinions about Market, etc. Apparently there isn't. I don't think android-discuss suites me (and perhaps more devs) beause it's too broad - you could discuss whether G1 sucks there for all I know. Perhaps there should be android-market or android-after-release list, which I'll happily join, but in the meantime I feel comfortable to post such off-topic questions on this one ;)
