I don't recall having seen any off topic posts recently. As for the ubuntu/orca/newby questions posts, this still deals with gnu/linux. As far as I know, Kirk's policy has always been that anything gnu/linux related goes. Unless Kirk has changed this recently, all the recent ubuntu/orca/newby posts would seem to be along those lines. Now, if Kirk has changed this recently, then you'd be right that this is OT. My apologies to Kirk of course if anything I've said here is out of line.
