This doesn't really matter; this thread has become a "how mods should treat off topic" discussion, but actually my intent was to keep "Off topic" free of Maemo-related content. Helping users to not put their threads in "Off topic" in the first place is just as good. I'm not saying that the world is a bad place because of forum moderators.

Really? It contains some useful input to be considered for the future of bugzilla. That's why I listed this thread in the first place:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...6&postcount=16
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=26
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...7&postcount=34

I have read each post in each thread I listed.

And again, the title of the section I want to keep free of Maemo-threads is "Off Topic", not "Useless" or "Has been discussed before". What's in "Off topic" can be very useful, and what's in "N900" may well be useless.
