That was really a not cool thing of you to just say.

The extent to which any given group is "on-topic" (e.g., LEGO-focused) or
"off-topic" (e.g., non-LEGO) is not a 0 or 1 but a fuzzy value in-between.
For example, many posts in the .loc area are non-LEGO-related, as are most
posts in the .admin area. If you look harder you will also find a group
here called .robotics.handyboard, which is only marginally related to LEGO.
The purpose of the .off-topic tree is to collect certain groups which are
known *a priori* to be non-LEGO-related. The .off-topic area is *not* for
*all* non-LEGO-related discussion. A certain amount of non-LEGO discussion
is tolerated in *every* group. It's up to the participants of each group
to decide over time how much is appropriate for that group.
I hope this clears up any confusion which may remain.
