I think we are an interesting friendly community of peoples (and others)
who think similarly, have similar opinions, and we simply talk about all
things together, even if it's not strictly technical. I think it creates a
better friendly atmosphere here.

I believe many, if not most?, on this list consider the ramblings and
occasional insight into some other field of Gene, Bill, and the several
other characters on this list as "a good thing." I’ve seen these
threads usually spiral come down to either of:
A) Do we truly want to abide by strict interpretations as to mailing
list etiquette so that this list is a sterile wasteland? With the
resultant loss of members, and/or actual member readership, who might be
able to solve your posted issue? And in extreme cases where the list
becomes nothing more than requests with no answers.
B) Or, are we willing to accept non-topical speech, given how easy it is
to skim, or completely skip, posts not interesting to ourselves? With
the increase in total list membership that ‘fun things’ bring, thereby
increasing the chance that someone not only has the knowledge, but has
actually opened your request to even read it, to help you solve your
posted issue?
While not related to this list at all, human psychology and group
dynamics are interesting fields. Yeah, Gene ‘wasted’ our time, and it’s
annoying for those who aren’t interested in Gene, but lets not destroy
the list over trivialities.
If Gene’s posts, or anyone else's (mine?), annoy you, please just add
them to your ignore list...

Michael
Anyway, for the sake of others in the TDE group,
if you would like
to converse sometimes by private email or chat or what-not, I
wouldn't mind. But we shouldn't do it here.
Yes, much appreciated on a technical mailing list.
