I really apologise! I'm a real , old and great Madness fan! When I wrote, it was to give to all Madness fan an information about the fact that they can find some rare songs in Kazaa Lite and when I wrote two word about rugby, it was just a little wink! I didn't know that some people of the TMML have no humour. You're right! We must be serious! Welcome to the House of Fun!

For the > un-enlightened among us, "off-topic" in our context usually means not > directly related to Madness or pertaining to the particular thread of > discussion that is being discussed as highlighted in the 'subject' field in > any given e-mail.

Both are different. Yet both have the > same subject line, thereby we now have the definitive version of off-topic. > (In our context). > > "Off-list" is defined as contact between two or more parties, outside the > forum in question.
