someone 
questioned an off topic message not too long ago."....

I usually enjoy the occasional digressions....as long as the conversant
is not droning on and on....or is grinding their ax....it can be
considered as peripheral interesting conversation from like-minded
people on the list.  Perhaps we all can use a little brushing up on the
term 'decimation' or which Napoleon did what.  Can't hurt.
