>Basically, it boils down to the board's purpose. Someone posting openly provocative messages dilutes the stated purpose (technical discussion in this case), but ironically it may have some marketing value.

The board might be about FoxPro technology, but the Category is Chatter and I have seen all sorts of things posted here that were not technical. It is clear that the more latitude has been accepted in this category than in others. Its more like the water cooler than the conference room.
