Even if I put a deadline on it, I expect that people would still keep the 
thread going for days or weeks past the deadline.  The "reply" button is 
right there, and kind of seductive, y'know?  ;-)

Lately?!  That's happened for as long as I've been here (which is now 20+ 
years).  Same song; that "reply" button is easy to hit, and people tend to 
post what comes to mind, whether it's on topic or not.  

I was going to say that that's the inevitable nature of the net, but I think 
it's really more just the nature of people.  We're social.  We chat.  
Someone else says something that resonates, we respond.  So it goes.  ;-)

When a thread goes off topic (or starts that way), I can ask the posters to 
kill the thread or take it to private email.  There are a few more vorpal 
things I can do with OT threads, but usually don't.  

I've seen some good comments so far on the charter change idea.  Thanks!  If 
you want to de-clutter the list and make Mr Chapman (and no doubt others) 
happier, you can send further charter thoughts to my private email instead 
of posting them on the list.  Get my address here :

[EVDL] EVDL Charter change

[David Chapman via EV]

 David, could we set a deadline on debating this issue so we can vote and get 
it over with rather than rehash ad nauseum? Lately the list seems to have gone 
far afield from discussing EVs. Dach.
