But those lists (like this one) are topic limited for a reason, so people can participate in discussions on one subject without reading about everything. There are plenty of lists that would serve the purpose you describe. Check out this one at rootsweb for example. According to its description it "is a mailing list for people who are interested in any or all aspects of genealogy, anywhere in the world".

Is anyone aware of such a board/list anywhere? It is all well and good to say take it somewhere else but could you at least name one or two boards where such discussions would be welcomed?
