that's like saying that since the people who use Linux (or any OS)
are made from chemicals, it's always on-topic to discuss esoteric
chemical reactions.

I saw the coding posts. I'm not a programmer, but a know a little, so
I perused them casually, and then deleted them.
It's not like every OT posts costs me money to download ro something;
then, maybe, I'd understand being somewhat irked by many posts
dealing with programming issues, when this isn't (strictly) a
programmer's mailing list).
It might be different if all the OT posts were something offensive to
someone's beliefs or something, but it was some code. Whoopie. :-)
