No no no no no.
The mailing list is not "for the CLUG". It *is* the CLUG. The CLUG *is* the mailing list.
Your statement `anything that interests "CLUG members" is on topic' is casting the net a bit wide IMO. Sure, there are many things that aren't specifically Linux that are of general interest to, er, geeks. (Face it, if you are a member of this list you are pretty much a geek by definition). These things are officially off-topic, but not totally-irrelevant, and are of general interest. Unlike, say, me talking about my kids (which I must confess to having done so on-list).
