Is marketing the goal. I used to belong to a Christian men's group that turned
it focus to membership. Some left. I was one of them. There efforts have
been in vain.
I've been on this list for maybe 13 years. It has been a great resource. I've
learned a lot from you guys and you have helped me understand things that I was
struggling with.
I always thought that is why the list existed - a place to share and help.
I'm not sure how more structure would help those new comers and how less
structure would impede growth.
I watched a documentary recently and the guy said the first question is do you
restrict freedom or is more freedom the solution.
If we do nothing the list grows organically and adapts to whatever is ahead of
us. If we try to manage that process we may and probably will at a minimum
hamper growth.

Well,
If you change nothing and the world changes, you no longer attract people
involved with new techniques and ideas.

I vote for keeping the PLUG list exactly the way it is.
It works just fine.
So what if there is occasional digression.
A little digression is often interesting ... (up to a point).
As long as "Off Topics" are plainly marked "OT," let it be.
As JD (and others) noted, we all have a delete key and the
ability to filter topics or individuals if/as desired.
Also, a polite private note is usually a much better remedy
than public thrashing over perceived offenses.
Thank y'all for this great PLUG community.
I have seen a very few changes create a large amount of action.However if we
are arguing on/off topic discussion, I put it to you that "all the people who
used to post here" have now gone to better sources with their questions, like
Fedora.org or Ubuntu Forums or learned to search (which provides 97% of the
answers pretty quickly if/when you learn to read for context.
