The occasional drift off topic doesn't usually seem too bad. Someone goes
from Ada code for units to discussing mass and velocity and such and that's
not too much to worry about. Even the occasional political or social comment
along the way isn't much to worry about. (I agree it should be indicated in
the subject line as off topic once it diverges for any length.) Its just
that when the postings start to drift into areas that are completely
unrelated to Ada and the opinions being expressed might start becoming
offensive to a large segment of the audience, its just spoiling for a
flame-war. If we're going to have flame-wars, they at least ought to be
somehow related to Ada. :-)
