Maybe we should have a second list/forum that is called say "EUtalk",
which would be the proper place for talk about anything and everything.
While talk like this is completely off topic on EUforum, it probably is
important for social relationship and group feeling (I don't know
whether these are the proper English expressions).
This already exists e.g. in the hamster.* groups on Usenet. Among other
hamster.* groups, there are:
- hamster.de.misc
- hamster.de.newuser
- hamster.de.talk
So when a discussion like this starts here, people can say: "Let's
continue this discussion on EUtalk.", and voil=E0 ... needs for social
communication are met there, and on EUforum people can focus on
programming matters.
