The admin doesn't need to warn you that your post is inappropriate.  You
already know that your post is inappropriate.  The fact that you posted it
anyway is simply rude to the list.

I imagine that for some people, the technical writing discussions got dull,
so there were a few OT posts by different people.  It seems like there is
some defensiveness about being told that different posts are OT and now
conversations are getting political.  

This is a technical writing list, hence the name, techwr-l.  I enjoy the
occasional OT segues that come out of technical writing discussions, but I
wouldn't want to see this list turn into something other than a technical
writing list.
