Off-topic content may or may not be appropriate for kids-- the reasons are
not germane to this discussion. I think we can safely say that at least 90%
of off-topic chatter is complete blather to a kid and uninteresting to them
to say the least. What does excite the kids who come to LUGNET, presumably,
is LEGO-related material. My suggestion is that, in order to help make
LUGNET more interesting to people who come to LUGNET for LEGO-related
discussions, and for people who come to LUGNET for ADULT discussions that
aren’t LEGO related, Todd should separate the two.

This seems like a good summary of your position on this topic. Do you agree? If
not, is there a better one? Is there anything significant on this proposed
change that you feel hasn’t been brought to light yet?
If this is a good summary and there aren’t additional key arguments to muster,
can I suggest that we all leave it be for a while? The transition team will no
doubt revisit this topic in the fullness of time and reevaluate the decisions
taken if it is appropriate to do so.
But for now, I sense that maybe everything that needs saying has already been
said. At least I haven’t seen anything new added in the last few posts, although
I may have missed something.
