  What's an open thread?
 At a guess, opposite to a closed thread IOW anyone can contribute,
 although the terms don't make any sense at all on this list.

Hi Chris,

Please discuss the term in this thread.

Thanks!

 It's like a loose thread except when you pull on it everything doesn't
 unravel.



Hi guys,

I changed the subject so this meta-discussion does not pollute the other one.

I think this meta-discussion is OT, thats why I wrote [OT] on the subject.

An open thread, as I stated, was something like curt defined. It is a
valid topic, it's related to Debian and printer usage (topics that are
not off-topic), but there is not a single problem to solve.

There is not a OP who has a specific question and want a specific
solution. For example: what driver to use with a model Wh4t3v3R of
printer S0M3-1?

But, if that question happens in the thread, it fits. Its open, but
not so open that people would stop talking about 3D printer and start
talking about, lets say, unixes or sysadmins definitions. That would
fork the thread in the normal way threads are forked.

As I'm not interested in OT in general, and as this thread is OT, I'm
not interested in it also. Feel free to keep going with this
discussion.

My best!
Beco.
