Can't say it bothers me much as long as it isn't the "You've got money waiting in Nigeria" type of spam (unless of course you really have got money waiting in Nigeria). The mods are pretty good with that stuff as well as the occasional "you're a complete cnut" type of abuse post.
Mostly if someone's taken the time and effort to post something, even if it's off topic, I'm happy to read it. Better than (IMHO) than people posting nothing because any slight deviation from "just gimme the facts" will be met with derision or worse. Even irrelevant answers take time to tap out and someone's taken the time to to that even if it might seem to you (a generic term - not you specifically) a pointless waste of that time.
Now I'm trying to work out whether I should post this or just move on with my life and ignore it all. That's 10 mins I'll never get back again.
