[...] Incidentally, since we seem to be drifting offtopic and I haven't been reading this group quite long enough to get a grasp of it yet: how much tolerance of limited offtopic discussion is there, here? I know of some newsgroups where it runs far beyond "limited" and no one complains, some where it's common but not encouraged, some where it's rarely considered acceptable, and some where it's absolute anathema; I haven't seen anything I'd readily recognize as noticeably offtopic here in the last few months, so I don't have a good barometer measurement yet.
It looks to me (I've been here since 1990 at least) like just about anything goes, at least as long as it is a response in a thread that started out on-topic. Things get really far-afiled sometimes.
If you start a new thread, or introduce one that has been running elsewhere by cross-posting, that has nothing to do with Japan or language you might get some static. Most of us will probably ignore you.
The biggest sin is, I believe, top-posting, so you're pretty safe from opprobrium (whatever that word means).
