My take on it is that it's "ok" up to a point. Obviously, once a group is
dominated by left-field remarks, it's no longer relevant and should be moved
elsewhere. The other danger of having lots of these remarks being that people
may stop reading the group (and posting to it!) for lack of interesting content
(to them).
So, a little post here and there doesn't hurt, but lots do. Does that make each
one a lesser evil? I suppose so, but certainly an easily tolerable evil.
Especially (for me) when the text is short, so it all fits in the "brief" view
on LUGNET's web interface. That way I can tell right away that it's not a
highly relevant post. But as soon as they start filling up my screen, I get
annoyed with them.
Where's the line? Probably different for everyone. I haven't been reading
rtlToronto (except a couple cross-posts into NELUG), but as long as the
majority of posts in the group are "in bounds" for the group, no problem by
me...
