It is also not clear what this has to do with Linux.
For the reader that I am, it is also not clear whether the dot between
"linux" and "networking" in the name of the newsgroup is a logical AND
or a logical OR.
Honestly, would it make any sense at all to have a newsgroup that was
about networking in general and Linux in general?
It's increasing specificity. This group is broadly about computers,
more specifically about computers that run Linux, most specifically
about network involving computers that run Linux.
If you don't understand the basics about USENET and hierachies, you
should not be posting.
For instance I read topics about Cisco devices or file
permissions which do not seem related to both Linux and networking, and
people here don't seem to mind about it.
Your post was even further off-topic than those. At least a post about
a Cisco device is about some device that networks. At file permissions
are a Linux feature.
You do have a fair point though, people have been slacking in pointing
out what is on and off-topic around here. You really do have to point
these things out every time, otherwise people can get an erroneous
sense of what is on or off-topic. IMO, that's no excuse for not making
the effort to learn what you're doing before posting, but a lot of the
blame goes to services like google that provide people with USENET
access without making any attempt to ensure they know what they're
doing there. It's kind of like stapling a couple of $50 bills to an
Aborigine and dropping him in the middle of New York City.
