o.t-debate is for discussing things not related to LEGO, so if I wanted to
start a discourse on, say, the merits of green crayons as opposed to red
crayons for colouring the grass in my neices 'Sailor Moon' colouring book,
and I wanted community input from those at LUGNET (whom I have come to
appreciate) then I would start a thread in o.t.-dabate
If in .market.theory a thread is started talking about the merits of
slashing prices of LEGO at walmart and seeing what Zellers would do in
response, and part of this thread turns into discusisng the slashing of
prices of canoe racks and the merits thereof, that would also be forwarded
to o.t.-debate, cause it doesn't deal with LEGO theory anymore.
If there is an issue with LUGNET, and we want to discuss modifying charters,
or some other aspect of the LUGNET community, then there was a proposal a
few months back about .admin.roundtable, but no idea where that went, but it
might go into o.t.-debate until a solution is hashed out, and we can say to
Suz, 'We think this is a good proposal, mayhaps you would like to implement
these changes.'
If it's just people bickering, mayhaps a new
group--o.t.-bickering/tirade/i-wont-listen-to-your-spouting-but-you-must-listen-to-mine
group.
Anyway, just comments from one of us in the cheap seats, a la 'peanut gallery'
