Marin, if you feel the need for the Usenet Police in a case
like this, you are using an incompetent news reader. I changed
the subject to the above, to make it perfectly easy for anyone
to suppress the thread if they are not interested. If you are
not able to do this, then that's surprising, any decent news
reader MUST have this capability in my view.

So, assuming your reader DOES have this capability, you have
deliberately decided to read this thread, knowing perfectly
well from the title that it cannot be relevant. You cannot
possibly complain at your own decision to do this.

The time that internet Police are needed is when people go
off-topic WITHOUT changing the subject line. In fact you will
notice that the CLA folk are very disciplined, as soon as I
changed the subject line when the thread started to go
irrelevant, everyone followed, and the original thread was
left unaffected.
