If the thread in question was so off-topic as to "go to new heights/lows" how
much more so this thread about the thread that left the topic?
And anyway, the CF-Talk guidelines say:
"The CF-Talk Mailing List provides an email based forum in which members can
read and post about ColdFusion and related topics."
"Please DO post your succinct questions and answers, announcements about
events, products, and job opportunities and your input on discussions of
workplace issues. As long as the topic is ColdFusion-related, and your TOPIC
clearly defined in your SUBJECT line, it is acceptable (exceptions noted
below). "
Since this thread is pertinent to both "workplace issues" and the ColdFusion
language itself, as well as a large group of its developers/users, I would deem
it to be on-topic.
Note that this list is CF-Talk, not CF-Code-Help.
