Heh, I love these Von Neumann-type threads. I recently commented on a spam to another list because I thought it was funny, and received a self-righteous reply (to both myself and the list) telling me I was wasting bandwidth - I mean the guy is so annoyed that I've wasted 3 seconds of his time opening what I admit was a pretty silly post, that he spends much more time to tell me off about it _and_ posts it to the list so other people will waste their time. As I've said before, off-topic/whimsical/silly posts are IMO fine (I generally prefer them to the more serious technical ones) but could people please mark them "OT" so others who don't want to read them won't, and we don't get our wrists slapped by Netiquette Nanny.
