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...
