Hey gang,
I would like to request (ask, beg, plead, beseech, supplicate) everyone to
please refrain from OFF-TOPIC discussions in this list. It is very difficult
and time-consuming to have to wade thru the numerous off-topic posts. Filters
simply won't work in filtering for the simple
I disagree. Off topic subjects are often food for thought. Some seem off
topic at first, but turn out to be on topic.
I have often posted news items and things that caught my attention from

A Forum Format would help alleviate many problems. Maybe you can help me

Incidentally, school lunches are ON TOPIC insofar as a 9-year-old girl has
gotten more attention, more hits, public support and funding for her cause
in 4 days of on-line presence than cold fusion researchers have attracted

strict rules are not necessary- if somebody wants to tell me about an

Honestly, I don't know anything
Recently Vorl Bek and Jojo Jaro have suggested, OFF TOPIC discussions should
be relegated to Vortex B, something to the effect that there is no need for
