I have mixed feeling about off-topic posts, but IMHO _any_ kind of 
discussion is appropriate for [OT] as long as it's conducted according to 
the accepted rules (written and unwritten).

So far, this thread has not turned into a flame war, is being conducted in a 
reasonably polite and calm manner, and is not a two-way conversation. 
PicList has many topics which are of little interest to me, but I learned to 
filter them out. Instead of trying to limit other people's freedom of 
expression, just mark the whole thread as "read" and move on.

Best regards,

Vitaliy
