There's a general discussion newsgroup now BECAUSE of people like KAH and I bitching and moaning about off-topic posts, in case you didn't get it yet...

And don't crosspost stuff to both newsgroups.

I consider general.discussion for off-topic outcasts. As such, there IS segregation going on here, and I'm completely for it if SOME idiots just don't get it. Think of general.discussion as a polite way of saying "until you've matured enough to stay on-topic in the grown-up newsgroups you can play here". <chuckle>
