Dan's earlier suggestion seem eminently simple

"OT:"

works for me... I can't deal with more than one mailing list.

Setting aside rancorous flames which need to be curtailed, sometimes its very important for us to get outside the code and look at the big picture. Especially if we are part of a team that must help make important strategic long term decisions. We work on 3-year, six- year planning cycles in our publications field. I find it really helpful to "let fly" on "blue sky" discussion about where all this should be going...

Why not here, if it is clean healthy exchange of insights?

if you just want to stay in the code trenches... filter "OT:" to the trash or any thread that is irrelevant. Of course you should be using a mail client that organizes by thread...

Fair enough, Mark. Where should they be, then?

These discussions are quite interesting, but IMHO this is not the
place for them, since they do interfere with the actual utility of
the list.
