I did not say that said that you did?  ;-)

>I said: Keith will tell you that it is off-topic here.

Noted.  My post was meant to explain that I chose to implement
the guidance from the Big-8 process on new group creation, which
encourages posting to groups where interested parties may be
reading for discovery, but with follow-ups set to n.g.p to
discourage off-topic drift and fragmented discussion.

Given that the guidance is coming directly from Big-8,
complaints about topicality, from Keith or anyone else, seem
misplaced.

So far, as near as I can tell, the only person who's actually
engaged with the proposal was Tim Rentsch, who responded in
in comp.programming that he was in favor of comp.lang.rust.
