I think I'd pay to watch the gila monster event... :)

I personally don't care if something is on topic or not.   My solution is
to ignore or delete anything I don't care to read.  I don't have the extra
energy to waste getting upset every time someone might say something that
offends me or that I don't agree with.  I don't have to agree with people
to respect them.  For anyone that gets livid over such things I say this:
      Such things are really not important...don't you have real problems
to solve?

<sarcasm>
We live in a world of empowerment now...people no longer are forced to read
emails.  There is a magical button in your email client that allows you
remove messages you don't want to see!  If you're using Google mail (and
many others) you can even set up mail filters so you NEVER see email from
people that annoy you.
</sarcasm>

If people don't respond to off topic posts guess how long those threads
will last?
