I agree. When I was a new editor I got into a friendly chat with an
established Wikipedian. We exchanged a few light-hearted pleasantries
and it did a lot to make me feel welcome in my new environment.
I don't think we should be asking that people keep their talk pages
"on topic" as it were. Indeed I had no idea that we do.

Comments, for and against, are welcome there.
Thanks,
