What's the problem with that? When the world was younger there was even the
"nazi-counter" - or, how many postings does it take till somebody makes a
reference to some ugly figures from recent history. Maybe because politics tend to repeat
history this call for polital correctness is needed?

I doubt that such a list would help. The reason that topics degenerate into
OT stuff is that participants' attention gets distracted from the original
purpose of the thread, so they are unlikely to say to themselves 'am I still
on topic?' If we were all that disciplined OT posts wouldn't happen in the
first place.

I agree with Micheal but I suggest creating an off topic mail list. If it

(You have me curious at this point, have neither of you worked in an
office environment before? Random chit-chat is de facto / de jur for any
group of people who have known each other for years / decades. This is
also the “users” list, not the “developers” list, e.g. users helping
users, so this list will always have random chit-chat as that is the
nature of “users” lists. Raging against the laws of the universe is all
well and good, but seems kinda pointless...)
