Good, that's the one we want. Don't tell me whether you like gravy, don't tell me your favourite colour, don't tell me about anything not related to the project unless it happens to be in a discussion totally unrelated to it. It is not that I mind knowing whether you like gravy or prefer green over red, it is just that I'd rather not have to think about whether you're in the gravy-faction or the green camp and have to tailor my communication to those preferences just in case I insult someone by stating that just like K.D. Lang [1] I can't stand gravy.

Yet here you are sharing preferences no one asked to hear about.
