I will say that unless we do get an OT news group, I welcome that kind of 
thread or threads that turn into that kind... every few months or so. Some 
of them are some of the more interesting threads I can remember.

It's one of the reasons I like hanging out here.

I mostly agree.  But it would be nice if OT threads would at least stick to 
their own topics.  Unless making mudpies and and claiming that Fritos is a 
vegetable is so good as to explain why God allowed Nazi concentration 
camps, theology has nothing to do with what makes programming fun.

I've been wondering when Walter will release a new level of D.  That 
should redirect the conversation. :)
