Off Topic

[Doreen Rich]

I am curious. Why do people say that things are "off topic" in here? 
I thought that "off topic" was the whole purpose of this list .. to 
allow us a place to just chat about any and everything that may or 
may not have anything to do with HP. A kind of get to know you better 
place to be...to share and pick each others' brains about things like 
food, money, travel, whatever.

Doreen, who can never make up her mind which list she likes best.
