I agree and disagree at the same time. Some of this off-topic stuff is
quite educational, and sometimes quite funny.
You don't have to read it you know. You see an off-topic thread, just
delete the whole thread. Of course, you may have a really slow internet
connection and it takes a while for all the "junk" to come in. In that
case I pity you.
I think Tyler is right, there should be another list for "debian-help"
but I am afraid if that list separates from this one, then a lot of
people that could really help people, will not subscribe to it.
Think of this like an office, there is business going on, but there is
also a lot of talk by the water-cooler.
