This thread is definitely off-topic. That's why I put "OT" at the
beginning of the subject. I can understand people being annoyed when
someone takes a thread off-topic (I am myself), but I thought as long
as I branched the thread off, marked it as off topic and gave a clear
and descriptive subject no-one would mind. Clearly I was wrong...
