" My impression is that the only   discussion that is OFFICIALLY off-topic for LUV-talk is that   which should be on one of the other LUV list-conferences.   (Quite a lot of it?)   Although I don't think a lot of Fwds of animated   LOL-Catz  or  rewrites of Cro-Magnon's jokes about   Neanderthals  etc. would be widely welcomed!   (OK the <Polish|Irish|Biddleonian> jokes probably   aren't THAT old!)
