I agree: as long as it is mostly civil, some off topic is actually a Good Thing. This is a Community forum: just like it says at the top of the page. The purpose of the forum isn't to provide support, it is to provide community (which is a key to Open Source software management: it isn't just about talking about code, it is about friendship, trust, and respect... or community.) We have a full forum set aside to discuss music, not the SB, not SC, not Audiophilia, but... Music. Because "hey, he listens to some pretty decent stuff" helps build that community. So does, "okay, he's not a rabid right/left wing wacko, but actually has a lot in common with my political beliefs". I don't see a problem with it. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54841 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
