Sometimes I see threads briefly go into topics that are unrelated to new 
features in Python. For example: talking about a writer’s use of 
“inhomogeneous” vs “heterogenous” vs “anhomogenous.” We get what the original 
author meant, there is no need to fiddle with the little details of language at 
this point, even if it is fun.

These extra emails, though harmless, impose a visual, time, and navigational 
burden on the readers of the thread. It’s okay if the problem is little but not 
if it’s big.

Two questions:
How often does off-topic discussion occur? Does it need to be find ways to 
reduce the amount?
How can we find ways to reduce the amount?
