Some background and realities first though.
1) This list has always had a huge amount of “off topic” correspondence. It
is what makes this list enjoyable to many (possibly most) of the members.
2) Everyone on this list uses an email program that allows message filtering
to enable their off vs. on topic desires.
Forbidding off-topic posts in general will probably kill the list. It isn't as
though it's high-traffic to begin with.
"No politics/current events not related to technology (even as jokes)" is a
rule we can reasonably make, though.
