This thread is marked off topic.  If you don't want to see it, then set
up a filter in a good MUA and you will not see off topic messages again.

As for the discussion at hand, it is getting near the end, as we seem to
have reached an agreement on the issues, or at least agree to disagree
where we don't agree.

Complaining about off topic threads just creates more off topic threads.
 The best thing to do is just ignore it if you don't want to
participate.  That same advice applies to any thread.
