   I have  to quibble with you there.  While Cecil and the Straight Dope are   
   certainly welcome topics of conversation, I have always thought that the   
   charter   
   of this newsgroup, if you will, is that we of the teeming millions have adhered   
   to Cecil's motto and  joined him in "fighting ignorance."  Thus it could be   
   argued that given the proper spirit of inquiry, nothing is off-topic in this   
   group.
