You have absolutely *nothing* to apologize for, the thread is off topic,
when people complain, they are told they don't have to read it, or
worse, to configure their email clients to filter the thread, which puts
the burden of responsibility on the people not participating in the
thread.

I would hope that nobody here is stupid enough to hold you responsible
for internet activity originating from your country!

ok, maybe someone is...
This list is huge, very high traffic, with many people trying to help
solve some often times tricky and complex problems, OT threads,
especially giant, boring and opinionated (IMHO) ones such as the Oregon Gas
thread only make it tougher for users to give and get help.

Again, Marcelo, please do not feel the need to apologize, you are only
echoing the same thing many of us feel: we want to to keep this list
focused one Debian, simple as that.
