I think messages which are off-topic should be sent privately and not clutter up the list. I know it's easy to use the reply function, but there must be a way for BN users to send private messages. With the help of some nice people, I have succeeded in making OE send messages to individuals instead of to the whole list.
If this off-topic trend continues, perhaps Dean and Jonathan will have to change the format of the list so replies default to individuals and reply-to-all sends a message to everybody on the list.
