[plug] I give up

[Caleb Duggan]

I don't think its necessary to have concrete rules about what is OT and  
what is not, Talking about the rules isn't particularly linux-related but  
in this case it still in my opinion belongs on the main list. It should  
remain largely a judgement call but, perhaps we need some sort of more  
specific ruling such as job adverts are not appropriate on the main list?  
Most of the cases which seem to bother some people are reccuring cases and  
we could have a specific ruling against such cases.
