Personally  have no problem with some off-topic traffic. After all the 
mailing list has a pretty general subject anyway, yes? Read first few 
lines... block thread or just ignore it.

The current discussion in no way prevents somebody from asking for help, 
or getting a response.

That said, if some perfer to use an alternate forum for discussion, I've 
got no problem with that. However I won't be monitoring anything but 
[plug] so I for one won't be on any use to somebody asking for help on 
the webforum. And is there anything to stop the forum having the same 
content as the mailinglist re "offtopic" posts, etc??

I just don't see what all the fuss is about.
