"Roit!" As long as it's still in relation to LEGO, all of those fit into
the charter of .market.theory:
"Theory, techniques, methodologies, algorithms, systems, and socio-
psychology: in-depth analysis, comparisons, discussion, theoretical
problem solving, and calm, collected, principled debate."
In other words, just because there's a dedicated .debate group doesn't mean
that all debates have to happen there. In fact, debates directly involving
LEGO _shouldn't_ happen there, since the .debate group is part of the
off-topic (e.g., non-LEGO) hierarchy.
The reason .debate is part of the .off-topic hierarchy is because its main
purpose in life is to siphon away all the flame-infested rot that can clog
newsgroups from time to time: religion, politics, race and gender issues,
etc. -- all good stuff to debate about, but not typically LEGO related.

If you're saying that you are OK seeing that (...) (25 years ago, 11-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
