We all I think agree we got out of hand around the election and
thereafter.    Shouldn't have let it get as out of hand as it did.

As Chuck mentioned, there are lots of noise-free lists out there.   And
only this one which is noise-permitted.   I see this list as more of the
'we're all friends here' list.   Most of us have been around for a long
time, we know each other, recognize each other in person, and yes, like to
bounce/discuss non-wisp things off of each other.

That said, after last year, we all seem to be definitely more mindful of
letting things get too far out of control on any topic.  Once things seem
to have run their course usually someone invokes lent, and we move on.

If you want a list totally devoid of any off-topic discussions, then this
may not be the list for you.   If instead, you're ok with becoming friends
with a community of wisps who like sharing ideas and thoughts not only on
WISP topics, but on a little of everything else, then stick around.

It just occurred to me a good way to describe this list vs the others,
comparing it to an industry trade show.   Most of the other lists are more
like the conference/trade show itself.  Lots of dry technical content.
 This list is more like the informal social gatherings afterward...  lots
of WISP related topics, but also a lot of discussion about other things
which go on.   Like any of the social gatherings, sometimes it is
denominated by tech talk.  And sometimes it's dominated by non-tech talk.
 But overall it's an enjoyable time for those who enjoy that type of
socialization.
