If the question is not overly in depth, I find the CB a wonderful place for off-topic questions. All manner of things get discussed there: audio equipment, vacation policies, politics, pets, kids, even the weather.

On the other hand, there is off topic and then there is off topic. Posting a question about whether one prefers William Shakespeare or William Blake is a lot more off topic than questions related to strategy and management for a software related company.

The latter is probably of interest to several people here, given that at least some of us are running our own businesses or have been core members of start-up teams. Furthermore, such questions are indirectly relevant to Perl itself - especially if you are using Perl in your business. Although the focus of this site is on the technical application of Perl, Perl's long term health depends at least as much on the management skills of its proponents as it does on their technical skills.

Best, beth
