I'm with Larry on this one--
How can a group called 'off-topic' be about LEGO--it's off-topic.
Of course the ot-d group is not good for the majority of LEGO enthusiasts,
and is only frequented by a relatively small number of folks--but what does
it matter? It's off-topic.
Of course we discuss religion, politics, the state of affairs in the world,
whatever else--it's off-topic.
Anyway, ot-d is one of the healthier newsgroups I have ever seen on the
internet that allows all matters of debate to take place. Sure there are
bumps along the road, but we get by.
