Yup. I heard you say that loud and clear.

Still yes.

It shows disrespect to post a direct reply to a random and innocent message
in a group when you think that the group itself is misplaced, and not the
message. It also shows disrespect to other admins to continue arguing the
point with them once it's already been clearly made. (That said, I
understand that you felt unfairly attacked by Lenny. In the future, it's
probably more effective to reply more objectively and calmly when you feel
that way. Just a suggestion.)

It would've shown a lot more respect -- and tact -- if you'd've started
a brand new thread in .admin.suggestions, saying something like this:
"Hey, I've noticed a number of postings in subgroups of .people which
seem to be off-topic (e.g., non-LEGO). Perhaps the .people tree could
be moved as a subtree of the .off-topic tree? Just a thought. I realize
you probably already considered this before the groups were set up, but
just in case you didn't, I wanted to toss that out as a suggestion."
Doesn't that sound a whole lot different? And make the point just as well?

Your objection is noted.

Have you set yours this way? If no, why not? If yes, how did you happen
to stumble across my post?
