I find high irony that my namesake on this list
has diametrically opposed
views to myself as to how the users on this list should behave. Although
I’m not fond of fascism in any form, lets force some middle ground
anyway. (Again, the irony is strong...)
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.
