AFAICT, everything you wrote is OT in regards to installing,
maintaining, and using Debian.

So it is. And you're reading messages way down deep in a thread
indicated as "[OT]" because ...?
I don't want to restart the discussion. However, to answer
your question
(1) The people who are high-level OT posters hijack threads
with decent content.
(2) People sometimes hijack threads which have drifted miserably
off-topic with another on-topic discussion.
I mentioned this before, that the way it is done here is making
it difficult just to delete threads. Also, when a thread has been
deleted, and more material arrives, then something which looks
deep to those participating in it pops to the top. That's what
I saw, a message at the top.
I responded to your message due to the extremity of your
statement, and how you obviously seem to think that being
OT in an OT thread is a bad thing, while being OT in a whole
mail echo is not.

This message made from 100% recycled bits.
You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
