this list is active and full of articulate, intelligent people willing to
help.  so, i understand why this list gets a lot of off-topic questions.
i've succumbed to the temptation myself a few times.

and, frankly, i don't think _occasionally_ posting off-topic questions is a
sin so long as the subject of the message contains the term OFFTOPIC to
serve as a warning (supra vide).

people who send abusive messages to other members, on the other hand, i
think should be banned, because they seriously deter from the otherwise
mature and pleasant atmosphere of this list.

best,
paul

Perhaps that is just a bit childish?
