be too much of a good thing, and a couple of our threads have dragged on past
levity and silliness.
Maybe just an OT list, where we can get silly.

One of my reasons to reply was to highlight the
unending inane off-topic
threads about coffee, chocolate & dinosaurs polluting this list and its
archive. If dinosaurs are OK, then anything should go. I'd like to see OT
stuff keep to a minimum or less.
Agreed. Neither coffee nor distorted anti-science videos have a place
here.
