in thread [OT] How about an Off Topic Section?

Would you go to the Post Office to buy groceries?

Some non-Perl questions are welcomed here -- DB issues, for example because the person raising the question is (or would be well-advised) to use Perl as part of the problem, but I suspect we'd rather quickly reject a "Dear Abby" request for help as OT. I certainly hope so and thus prefer "Related Topics" if we were to add an OT section.

Would you go to the Post Office to buy groceries? Yes, -- I do that regularly. What was your point? Anyway, I think an 'Related Topics' section is a good idea, at least regular users would have some idea of the reputation of the responder. It can be very difficult going to a new site as you never know if the answer you've got came from the village idiot or the resident genius.	[reply]
