Re: An OT section (again).

[grinder]

I read that thread between you and Flavio, and while it was wildly off-topic, I thoroughly enjoyed it. ++ to you both.

Maybe if posts to the section were discarded after some short period of time--say 1 month?

Seems to me, that's what exactly will happen with that very thread, right where it is now. No need for it to be in another section. Veering off on a tangent in the middle of a thread is perfectly ok in my books. I doubt anyone's going to go to the trouble of putting it up for reaping consideration. Either that, or they have way too much time on their hands, moreso that the people who are off-topic.

Having an OT section would just introduce certain rigidities. I do not think the situation is broken as it stands.

On a side note, I've always received good advice and insight from wildly off-topic posts made to my use.perl journal.
