The difference is that noone is at the receiving end, suffering from uninformed opinions and lack of fact in numerous posts. This thread, or at least the few messages I've read, are of a friendly nature. And it probably won't last that long, making it a limited inconveniance for those not interested in the topic. So applying rules of nonconfrontational content and limited timespan to decisions about off topic posting seems reasonable. Agreeing on a few guidelines among the moderators as suggested by Sarah doesn't seem unreasonable. It's not a UN decision after all. >Pardon me while I go take something for this headache. Caused by trying to >figure out just what "standard" everyone wants to see... Just wait a while and let the different threads evolve before making a judgement either way. It's not too difficult to see when a thread is heading in a wrong direction. And if you're in doubt, wipe it out :o)). Mogens.
