Tamor,

I've been a section leader (sysop) for VBPJ (now DevX) since the beginning of their forum on ci$ - at least six years I think. An offramp-like section is an essential tool for keeping flames and offtopic discussions from polluting technical sections.

Yes, there are some rude posts. But everyone knows where _all_ the rude posts will be (or will be moved to) and people who don't like rude posts can just skip the section all the time.
