People need to learn that mailing lists *always* have some off-topic content, partly because topics drift, partly because people have different notions of what, precisely, is on-topic, and partly because people are lazy and/or arseholes. The amount of traffic on this list is so low that what off-topic stuff we get just doesn't matter. Learn to ignore it if you don't care about it, just like I ignore anything about Windows. > Is there still a benefit to having this list at all? Would we be better > off shutting it down entirely? Yes. No. Better to shut down the forums, as mailing lists are always a better way of communicating than web forums are. -- David Cantrell | Bourgeois reactionary pig There are many different types of sausages.
