We had an off topic list for years (over 10). I finally deleted it
because it was completely unused.
I certainly don't want to subscribe to a list that only contains random
ranting on whatever doesn't fit on our other lists.
My vote would be to either ignore off topic messages all together,
and/or politely ask the person to take it to a more appropriate mailing
list. There are other mailing lists that specifically deal with
whatever issue someone might come up with, and we don't have to maintain
or moderate them.
