: If others have posted "off-topic" messages before, why can't I?

There is a difference from 'tangetial' messages and those that are
totally off-topic to begin with.  On every newsgroup, occasionally a
discussion thread will wander off-topic in the course of discussion.
This is considered annoying, but not as annoying as being off-topic from
the very beginning.  Asking about the minifig generator is totally and
completely off topic in a robotics group.

BTW, the site you were asking about is at:

(...) There is also a difference between doing it once, being asked to stop, then doing it again. That's either a little silly or a little bold, neither of which is anything other than annoying to the people having to bother with it. (26 years ago, 13-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
