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
hasn't already been done.

(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...)
