It might be nice to give the reason why you are going to post to
"off-topic" as well. A post saying "Going to off-topic to discuss bargains
in ADSL routers" would attract a different audience from "Going to
off-topic to lambaste the Yanks for causing the Black Death and the CIA is
behind the Norman Invasion (the only successful operation they've ever had
- except for their covert surveillance of everyone in the world and
assassinating any people they don't like) and now their SDI lasers are
causing bush fires".  ;-)
