I think I know why there are off-topic "discussions" in here

"In a nutshell", "the bottom line is.." ... there's just not much to talk
about topically. Does maintenance of dead programming language take so
much time or even need a newsgroup? Are you living in a cemetery? To the
group: leave the dead in peace already. It's a thing, not a person. I
"propose", dissolving this ng or making it self-service (unmanned) via a
fine wiki. Then you can all move on with your lives. Sound good?

talk with.
