Now that one is interesting. Does this count as a medical question? I think that it is a medical question, but I am not convinced that it should be off topic here. It's just my opinion, and I know that there are good reasons for them being off topic (you said them yourself). However, I am worried that this is going to cut out a lot of good advice and information that you are unlikely to find elsewhere on the internet.

That's good. However, people will not list everything they have to hand to make this. The solutions need to use products most people in the developed world have - so a solution involving a magnifying glass is good, but one involving a 25 litre bucket probably aren't.

These rules are a very good start to this. However, I am not convinced that it is 100% clear exactly what is on topic / off topic - especially to a new user, and even to those who haven't read the chat stream. I am not sure how to get across exactly what is on topic, and we can't list everything that is off topic - that list would go on forever.

I have created a new Chat Room here, which means we can discuss these new rules (good rules) in a place without the chit chat. Feel free to drop in there to say how you think we can get across the on topic rather than the off topic list.
