Off-topic threads are poor etiquette not because they are necessarily
offensive or foul-mouthed, but because people who read the group (and
possibly dozens of other groups) have to spend time filtering them
out. It's mainly the principle of the thing, I suppose, since
downloading a bunch of extra messages doesn't add to the phone bill
like it used to.

That's precisely why people tell them about it.

I don't see how anyone could interpret a polite "please use the test
groups in the future" as chastisement!

Please take programming discussion to
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages. Heh, just kidding.

I'll stop prolonging this thread now!
