I completely agree. This small group of people are ruining it for
everyone and it's not something that can be fixed on a mailing list
that doesn't commit to ruthless banning of off-topic postings. :(
It's a pity that the Debian Shapado instance at
https://ask.debian.net didn't take off more than it did (and now
seems to be completely broken). That does at least allow Stack
Overflow-style scoring of answers to keep things mostly on-topic.
There is also the Debian tag on Stack Overflow, though that is of
course hosted on non-free software.

Cheers,
Andy
