We’ve been told by Saskia, in her post, that “Any off-topic comments or discussions may be deleted”.
However, there is a section called “General Chat” which presumably is intended to cover just that. By definition, nothing posted there can be off-topic. So I suggest anyone wanting to comment on the current stalemate puts their post under General Chat. Just select that option by clicking in the box headed Add Topic and then choose General Chat. Sorted.
