True, but didn't it need to be said?

Sorry, could resist stating the obvious.
This is the worst forum for off-topic posts, and it is annoying. I'm guessing that these people are clueless, and fall into two catagories. One group, all newbies, start at the top of the page, see the word Forum for the first time, and think this is THE 2+2 forum. I think that these will eventually figure it out, with a little educating.
The second group, who have usually been here for a while, are just plain clueless and always will be. I think they are reading something here, it reminds them of a bad beat they had last week or something equally pointless, so they just post it.
Possible solutions:
1. On other boards I frequent, a moderator will move and/or lock an off-topic thread.
2. I think it might help to have a sticky at the top of this forum titled "Read this before posting" explaining what this forum is about.
3. Some people just need to be trained (naming no names). Like the old joke about how do you train a mule. First you hit him over the head with a 2x4 to get his attention.
