WDYT of starting a list called "guix-off-list" to provide a place for those who enjoy this kind of discussion? I do enjoy such discussions sometimes, but not on the same plate as debug tracebacks or beautiful code examples from the virtuosos. I don't mind single-line BTW or FYI or IMO: footnote references to out-of-thread content if the rest of the post contributes something and isn't just one line in a full quote. Having a "guix-offlist" would enable a reference like "IMO:guix-offlist: bitcoin explained by me ;)" And maybe also a mailing list called "guix-grownups" -- where casual adult language is accepted without triggering endless complaints. Coming to some mailing lists these days I sometimes feel like I've entered a restaurant where the menu is dominated by allergy and spice concerns. (I have nothing againt special venues catering to sensitive minorities, don't get me wrong. What do I mean "minorities" eh? :) Wonder what George Carlin (R.I.P) would say about all this :) -- Regards, Bengt Richter
