I hate to contribute more here but... at Sun we had a pretty good method for dealing with these OT excursions: we'd move them to a sub-list.
If a list was named "crypto" the sub-list would be named "crypto-extra". A moderator would urge people to move OT threads to the -extra list. People who don't want noise would not subscribe to the -extra list. I too miss Perry's moderating.
