What policy is not what I practice?  I ignore more off-topic posts and take
no action unless asked to.  I occasionally participate in one.  Occasionally
a normal thread diverges into something that is interesting to me.  IE Beowulf
and distributed computing, or vector computing, or computer architecture, or
operating systems, etc.

I tolerate off-topic as that seems to be the general wish of the members.  I
participate in them when they are interesting.  As I have said before, when I
was elected to be a moderator, I was _not_ suddenly removed from the normal
membership role, IMHO...
