Ok, @Lmwangi and others.
Assuming compliance, could you please define the nature of posts that qualify so that we know the scope that skunkworks "puritans" consider as noise. I ask this because I think it becomes important to the group membership to know what skunkworks represents.
IMHO, I sincerely doubt that it is as much the fact that it is an IT group as it is a grouping of bright minds. that is why i can ask something specific about Macadam roads and expect an intelligent answer (assuming aki does not paste a link to wikipedia or tell me to RTM-something). Personally i know dozens in engineering, physics, Biochemistry and a host of disciplines.
I however respect the need to focus in the specifics, so if skunkworks is purely IT, or Software , Or consumer issues specific to IT, then let it religiously adhere to it and feel free to crack the whip.
