give it a damn rest already.

I made my first off-topic post to RAP almost exactly a year ago, and I
ended it:
"I can't believe I responded to a political thread on RAP. I must
remember not to make any decisions of significance today."
Since then my ratio of off-topic posts have grown steadily, and I have
not thought it inappropriate. But considering the over all ratio of
off-topic posts lately, I'm beginning to think otherwise.
