In a perfect world, yes. But the rules as just recently posted, clarify a lot of what is on, or off-topic, and allow this list to remain unmoderated with a high content to crap ratio - hopefully. They also hopefully decrease the amount of bickering about rules.
The Swedish on-topic thing is another cyclical 313 thread, I refer y'all to the archives on that one. Agreed, it's a tricky one. One of the problem is you get lots of people on this list who only post about the swedes and other offshoots of Detroit techno, and never bring it back to home. But it's too much to sum up briefly.
