It was a while back now, but there was a time when I lobbied in this group for a slight relaxing of topicality rules - not by breaching those rules, but by inviting discussion, cavassing opinions, and collating them into a show of hands. By an overwhelming majority the group turned me down. I didn't tell them 'to hell with you, I'll discuss what I damn well want to, and if you don't like it, tough cheese'; I accepted the group's decision.
 There may well be some subscribers here who remember that discussion and might be prepared to corroborate the above.
 

It rings a bell, if that's enough corroboration for you.
Perhaps enough has been said by all parties in this little branch - anything more is likely to be repetitive, or more heated than we might like.  I would hate for animosity in a thread branch about topicality to spill over into the topical threads.  Let's reserve the fire and passion for discussing C :-)
