May I interrupt you for a moment and ask what is actually the use of discussing very irrelevant topics? I have not followed this thread, neither am I going to get involved in it, but I wonder what purpose this discussion actually serves. I have seen people complaining about off-topic threads on this list. Interestingly, such off-topic threads would not exist if people simply would not reply to off-topic messages, or stop a thread (or continue it as a personal discussion), as soon as it has lost it's value regarding the charter for this list.
