The only legit purpose for an "off the record" conversation is when the information gathered in that conversation directs a reporter to another source of information. Sometimes the privacy of the source has to be protected or else the reporter will never get necessary information.
But wanting something to be "off the record" just so you can say stuff you don't want the public to hear is bullshit.
