Of course when Dell go under in the near future and stop making PCs, it'd make 
them on-topic... :-)

Personally I vote for common sense - it means (pulling numbers out of the air 
for a moment :-) that 95% of posts are *definitely* on-topic, and the other 5% 
come down to what the original author thinks is 'cool' or not. I think that's 
a great signal to noise ratio, given that the notion of 'cool' for any 
particular system will likely be shared by a fair proportion of the list members.
