Make it 0.02 cents more,
I agree. Restricting topics would be a shame. Some apparently totally
useless topics scoring high on the digression scale sometimes turn out
to make unexpected "useful info" (not to all users I agree) just fall
out of the sky.
And as far as the "I want to sound like my favorite band" subjects are
concerned, I find them very interesting to the users whom are the
primary target of this list. Even if there's no artistic point in
trying to sound like someone else, it is sometimes the occasion to
hear about a piece of software some lurkers may not have heard of.
If we get enough 0.02 cents, let's go buy some free beer.
I will leave the users free to determine the interest of my previous sentence...
