That is why I still think there should be a digitalmars.offtopic.

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

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.

Perhaps what makes it fun is that we can run off on tangents and relate it to so many different things?
