I don't care if there's a cabal to discuss whether or not America, Hy-Brazil, Eurasia, and Scandinavia are continents or not. I don't care if there's a cabal who thinks that Maudite doesn't taste awful. I don't care if there's a cabal that thinks procreation is a good thing. None of these things need to be on -private. There are legitimate reasons to be subscribed to -private, and none of them require tolerating off-topic discussion. "Good" discussion would not seem to be irrelevant. If it's not meant to be secret, it shouldn't be there. I cannot imagine why this simple idea would be controvertible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
