Just get a list ethicist to do the police work :) "Hey guys, this is off-topic on this off-topic list, take it to d-u/d-d/..." > its a difficult social problem for which there are few if any > technological solutions... Joke aside, I understand your concern, but I don't see a better solution to have offtopic threads without disturbing d-u. And if the posters are careful enough to move it to offtopic, they can also move it back to d-u if they feel what they are writing belongs there (too). It may seem that I am pushing this too hard, but it's annoying not to get a clear stance on this, especially when Holger Levsen from the debian-community project seems to agree on hosting such a list if the project won't (there's also googlegroups as a last resort).
