You're right Tom, no conference is devoid of off-topic msgs. But when you start defending people's rights to post them the road to chaos is a short one. Given that most of the msgs I've seen in the past couple days refer to AOL (doesn't support Linux) and Windows, I'd say this conference has strayed WAY beyond the occasional off-topic (or using your term "semi-related" msg. BTW, when this happens in a conference, the knowledgable people are the first to bail out. Since this is a conference that people sign up for to get advice, it doesn't bode well for the advice that will be given unless it gets back on track. Cheers --- Larry
