I would be willing to follow such a convention, if there's a consensus for it,
or possibly even if it's requested by only a few. Personally I enjoy such
discussions - obviously - but I can see not everyone would.
But what constitutes OT? These things have recently started with a discussion
of COBOL and mainframes, neither of which I would judge to be OT. It's hard to
be certain precisely where the thread crosses the line. Opinions will differ,
at least.

Quick poll for the list:
Can we all follow a 'rule' that says [OT] must be added in all off-topic
discussions, so we can filter them out if required?
