Yes, but offtopic threads evolve from on-topic ones. It would be very
annoying to see posts like this:
... this is I could do to help you, and see my offtopic opinion on
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Not to mention that when people not subscribed to the debian-user
list read an offtopic reaction without the previous context (users
will almost always forget to include it), most likely they will post
several "What are you referring to?" answers.
I just wanted to say that it's a good idea to have an unmoderated
"offtopic" list, but it wouldn't reduce much of this list's offtopic
messages.
