My thoughts exactly.
Discussions of politics, religion and smoking aren't
appropriate on vpFREE because they always seem to result in
a disruptive shouting match and the first two are off-topic.
Randomness is certainly on-topic and is appropriate to
discuss on vpFREE. I don't see why it, or most other
subjects, should/would have to involve disruptive religious
partisanship. If/when that happens, I'll move the discussion
to FREEvpFREE.
