Agree not? There will be some off-topics of interest to some people, but others will only be annoyed each time. The reason Usenet is not one giant newsgroup is so that people can segregate their interests and join only the discussions that _they_ are interested in. Off-topic posts have the effect of destroying that orderly system, no matter how interesting they may be to _some_ people. Please take off-topic discussions to alt.politics... or whatever is appropriate.
