Orly, I wasn't referring to you. ;) You aren't the guilty party. I'm
pretty sure we're more tolerant of off-topic posts here on the main list,
but basically it's 'coz we all practically know each other.
I think though that the newbie list should be less cluttered. But then
again, since we'll be dealing with newbies, how would they know what's off
topic? Or am I wrong?
And no, I don't filter my mail since I love reading drivel from all of
you.
