Is this a change of rules for these Netscape/Firefox/Mozilla/Seamonkey
newsgroups?
I remember on the Netscape newsgroup, someone posted a binary of George
Bush wearing the "Lord of the Ring" ring. The newsgroup administrator
said he saw no problem with the post because it was marked "OT" and he
thought it was funny. Or is it that political subjects are OK, as long
as the majority agree with them?
Newsgroups on news.mozilla.org have always had a "Stay on topic" rule.
December 2, 1998 rules:

The current rules are at

You're probably thinking of a newsgroup on another server, like
secnews.netscape.com.
On news.mozilla.org, if you want to have an off-topic discussion, you
can take it to the mozilla.general newsgroup, where OT discussion is
allowed. Here's a screencast on how to set at followup-to header
