Of course the ideal situation would be to have everyone voluntarily
mark off-topic posts with [OT] in the subject line, but things which
require changes to human behavior have non-deterministic success
rates.

Or just have a separate mailing list. Some people seem to get their
panties in a twist even if you mark thing [OT].
I thought of that as well. However, that idea was tried on the BYU
UUG, and that didn't work out so well. People posted to it for a
while, but then the posts dried up, and there are still OT posts on the
regular list (though not quite as many as PLUG recently). That's
another of those "changing human behavior" things. :)
