I apologize for Marco. I admit none of his posts have been
about religion or politics. However, I confess to being
supportive of his OT suggestion that debian-user return to
the kinds of subject matter that once made it useful.
I'd sort of be happy to get back to off topic discussions.
At this point this meta-topic "rampant offtopic and offensive posts to
debian-user" seems to be dominating list traffic.
From the archives, as of a few minutes ago:
- total messages today (5/22): 69
- total re: "rampant offtopic and offensive posts to debian-user" 15 (22%)
- total otherwise marked OT or offtopic: 2 (3%)
- other (on-topic) messages: 52 (75%)
Of the on-topic messages, they cover 24 topics, not one of which has
more than 4 messages.
So... I'm led to conclude that:
i. 24 different useful topics (at least, presumably useful to someone)
have been addressed - quickly and succinctly
ii. the spate of off-topic conversation, from a few days ago, has
largely died out
iii. a few blow-hards are still polluting the list with complaints about
"rampant offtopic posting" and calls for banning people, moderation,
rule changes, and so forth
Personally, I'm pretty adept at scanning headers and using my delete
key, and find all of this pretty amusing, but still... enough is enough
already. Get a life.
