The way I understand it (and I expect to be put right by Meph if I'm wrong),
drifting off-topic by regulars here is tolerated. Someone who's never, or
very rarely, been seen posting here before opening up a thread with a
political discussion with nothing at all to do with Linux is something a bit
different from a regular drifting off-topic.
Mind you, saying "a *bit* different" in this context is like saying "Linux
is a *bit* less prone to viruses and worms than Windows."
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you bring a discussion back
on-topic :o)
