I don't see why people think putting [Off-Topic] in the subject line
makes it OK to post something off-topic. Do you really think that
announcing you're about to do something inappropriate makes it any
less inappropriate? (As if that couldn't be determined often from the
subject anyway.)
I also agree with Nic (and Pier, who is the list manager, so I don't
see why people don't listen to what he says) that we've had enough of
this topic. Even if you take a lenient policy and allow a little bit
of information posting and discussion on it, we've already had that,
and it's time to move on. Anyone who wants to discuss it further
should do so amongst themselves, and/or find and/or create a more
appropriate place to discuss it.
