in reply to "Off Topic" nodes

This has been discussed previously. The first that I know of was at perlmonks.org: More than just a Perl resource?.

I still have the qualms that I expressed before.

    Indeed and I fully support and understand your qualms.

    But I do not suggest to make a new Section "OT" for people to post into.

    Just some kind of "quarantine" zone to put all the OT-posts in, so they do not "pollute the namespace" so to say.

    Gods willing, they could probably even make it a "closed" section so you could not reply to the nodes in it.

      I have previously suggested that a new non-posting section be set up to accommodate OT posts. My name suggestion: "The Commode".
