I suppose not, but really - threads drift.  It's perfectly appropriate, and 
it annoys me to no end when somebody decides they don't like where the 
discussion has gone and wants everybody else to stop.

As far as I was concerned, it wasn't an argument about programming languages 
at all - it was an argument about whether specific programming languages 
could/should be held as the "standard" in Ubuntu.  Perhaps it really belongs 
in one of the devel-discuss lists, but that's not where it is - and any 
attempt to move a thread is just another form of censorship.

There's a lot of useless reading and deleting all over the Internet.  Good 
newsreaders and email clients will let you dump this whole thread with a few 
keyclicks...
