Since you mentioned it:  I would say about equally off-topic.

You're complaining that nobody complained?  {boggle}

If it'll help, I was thinking "Well, that's a little cheeky seeking
Solaris help on a LUG list", but figured, as I hit the delete key, that
the Solaris poster was likely easily smart enough to figure out why
without my help.

Personally, I'd rather that people neither ask nor answer flagrantly
off-topic queries relating to other operating systems (especially
proprietary ones), but not enough to make an issue of it beyond an
occasional very mild joke about MG TC mechanics (which of course was
_not_ "bitching about Lars").
