Unfortunately it's a very bad example. Its more
like a bunch of people speaking about other
things at an MV club meet before official things
happen. After all, the list is ephemeral and
isn't broken. Now, if someone started sending
gobs of spam through the list or worse, porn,
then the analogy would start to apply.
Really, the best thing to ask for is that folks
trim their posts and change subject lines. I've
been on the Internet since '90 and I learned long
ago that OT post are a given, unless every post
is moderated by the list mod and those lists tend
to be very dry. Frankly, I can't wait to meet a
bunch of you guys because the personalities are
interesting and there's quite a broad group of
folks here.
Hell, Ronzo alone is a trip.
