Personally, I think that the "random" thread that is OT is OK... It can get a little much sometimes, but imagine this as sort of a virtual workplace. Then imagine a workplace where no one ever said anything funny, no anecdotes were told, and no passionate discussions ever held. Boorrrrinnnnggggg! I even stopped to share the remark about our US holiday known as "Friday" with my wife...
Here's a potential solution: If everyone were very diligent about labeling an off-topic subject, that was not strictly about coding, with "OT" at the beginning, then those who want to read only about coding could easily set up filtering rules which simply delete any mail that include "OT" in the subject. Some would forget, yes...we're human after all (at least some of us ;o)... but it would be a way for people to effortlessly avoid OT topics while letting others have a food fight once in a while to vent. I use Outlook, so I could easily make such a rule and avoid all OT discussions, but some of them I like and participate in for the fun and for the enlightenment of it all. Not every CF-related problem or discussion is *directly* CF-related... (???) I know the discussion about SEO was not directly about CF-coding, but it sure has to do with how I employ that code... Anyway...just another (OT ;o) thought for the mix...
