[clue-tech]: Jobs: Off topic observation

[mike havlicek]

There seems to be a bit of finger pointing  at questionable technical posts by the official/not-offical moderaters of the list. To me it seems that pointing out that an off topic topic is off topic itself is off topic .. perhaps there should be an off-topic list. Or "CLUE critique of the off topic topic" list :)

PS: I am a bit rusty on the official guidline for suitable topics in the various list categories. Where is the official document?
