A bit of diversity of topics can lead to some very interesting serendipity, if it's a reasonably pleasant community.

My sentiments exactly, and well put. The metaphor was a one-moment thought, not to be literal. OT posts in moderation are not discouraged and will benefit Berkshire discussions, but should have the OT prefix of course only possible when starting new off topic threads.

The 'Send as private email' feature was reporting the email as invalid, but when it works the feature is great for replies intended for just one person to not disturb the board. (A lot of early signups had fake emails, so it is worth reminding everyone to make sure their email is okay so others can reply privately to them.)
