I'm sorry Mark but, whether you like it or not, this list / newsgroup 
has never been averse to taking a detour into interesting side-channels. 
You can easily mute a thread if you want to (or just delete the posts as 
they come).

Added to which, moderators give their time as freely as anyone else, and 
we'd have a merry time of it if we had to vet every subthread and post 
to make sure it met some notional guideline of language purity.
