Tony's comment brings to light the obvious fact as to how difficult it is to 
come up with a coherent definition of what's on-topic. No matter what you 
come up with, someone can punch lots of holes in it. Of course, I've seen 
many here (not referring to Tony) on the list jump in and suggest criteria 
and then poke holes in their own suggestion themselves.

Seems like trolling to me... or perhaps just wanting to hear/see yourself 
opine/type.
