Wait a minute!!! How about we just don't post off topic issues. This is the USMA metric discussion list!!!
That's not just a suggestion. You guys just don't get the point. Let's keep ON topic. You can find other forums for your off-topic issues no matter how neat you think they are.

This would have the added benefit for people to automatically screen these messages out if their e-mail programs offer them this feature. Let's just hope now that these would not be the "rule", but the exception, i.e. that we end up receiving more non-off-topic messages than the other ones. If our moderator is "listening" he could give his seal of approval for this initiative or not. Hopefully he'll agree...
