Chris,
I dont see the problem. Almost always the title of the thread tells you what its about so you know what to keep away from if you dont want to hear it. Certainly the title of this thread is pretty clear about what it will cover. Also like Trevor says, for a long time now general chat has been used for non astronomy subjects ("What are you reading lately" for one) And I recall that on Cloudy Nights they actually call the equivalent of General Chat somthing like "All things non astronomy"
