i'm not sure i follow this. you complain that 9fans is `full of offtopic banter and other noise' (mainly because people aren't contributing technical content) so apparently the best way to deal with that is not indeed to contribute technical content, but to move that discussion elsewhere; even so, it's also a fault that it hasn't got more noise in the form of tedious patch diffs to wade through (or perhaps you meant just list of patches as they are applied, which some might well find helpful). (i think there is a remark about this sort of thing in the Preface to the 1662 revision of the Book of Common Prayer.)
