Philosophy, politics, and ethics have a direct impact on everyone! However, many people do not want to hear about it, think about it, or talk about it. That is why these types of discussion have been relegated to the activism list. At least this way each EUGLUG list subscriber can decide for themselves whether or not they wish to participate in these types of discussion. I suspect that few people here care what it says on the web site; the EUGLUG web site is an expression of group ideology, an basic explanation of liberation software philosophy, and a form social-political activism.
Therefore, the just and proper thing to do (respecting the wishes of the majority of EUGLUG subscribers) would be to keep this kind of discussion off the main (technical) list and only post a notice there inviting anyone interested in discussing website/GNU/Linux issues to come join the activism list. This would support/respect everyone's freedom of choice, imo.
