Not only is it off topic it is the bigest waste of bandwidth on the internet. When I had a usenet server of my own I once went in and counted. There were about 10x as many complaints about off topic posts as there were off topic posts. In fact complaints about off topic used about 1/2 the disk space that rec.photo posts filled. Of course that was a long while back, and many have given up complaining over the years so it may only be 1/4 (wild guess) of the posts on usenet these days. Luckily we do not have it that bad here. Long threads indicate that they are interesting to a lot of folks until they deteriate into two guys saying, "Is so", "Is not".
