I'm not saying it's better to post off-topic stuff, but I'm certainly
not going to
slam someone who posts regularly if they veer off every once in a while.
If this person had added something to the discussion, I might care about
his opinion. As it is, thanks for doing us a favor.

BTW: Enjoy the 40K list. I've been there. It's the most civil (drip),
rational
(drip), relevant (drip) of the various GW mailing lists, and chock full
of
useful information (drip). As to staying on topic, if you think 12-year
olds
whining "why can't my chaos lord take terminator armor and a displacer
field and 6 wargear cards and have the field protect my juggernaut and
have my combat drugs affect the jugger too?" is on-topic or relevant
in any way, then by all means, join them. and stay there...
