Now, lets clear a few things up: - I posted 294 times in February - Of the 117 which I posted a capital OT in the subject, 24 would be considered definitely on-topic about Debian, some application in Debian, the Debian lists or otherwise some remark intended to be humorous related to one of the above listed things. - There were many more that were probably borderline, but I did not include as I wanted to keep my estimate conservative. - That makes the number more like 93/294 ~ 31.6% > Please don't waste everybody's time reasoning over theoretical > questions about hardware, software patents or ripping DVDs.

Those are concrete examples. At one time or another those topics have sparked discussions that could very easily be described as flamewars and that were equally as OT as the threads under discussion now.
