So long as we don't talk about what is or isn't allowed, the list traffic
is low enough not to need specific rules...
Except maybe not talking about what is vintage. :p

let's end this topic now.
Voting doesn't work anyway when you live imside a caliphate. We have yet
to hear from the Big Kahuna.

This is really funny. Do you all realize how many times we've gone over
this over the past 25 years?
As Bill poignantly explained, maybe instead of trying to establish a
cut-off date, we instead think outside of the box:
If enough people object to a topic, it stops. Let's call it three
objections. If three different people reply to a post objecting to it then
whoosh, off it goes into the bit bucket, never to be spoken of again.
Example:
Someone A: Hey, is it OK if I talk about Windows 11?
Someone B: Objection.
Someone C: Objection.
Someone D: Objection.
Someone A: Ok, sorry [bashfully skulks away]
Food for thought.

Traffic on the list is so low I'm not seeing
the issue. I'm also not
seeing complaints about threads being off topic. Seems like solution
seeking a problem.

Ok. Wonderful. I guess we've sufficiently established that from
henceforth
anything dang-old is totally on topic. Any
detractors? :)
Transcoding as in vcr to mpegs? I wasn't suggesting XP was utterly
entirely useless. Video editing in a modern sense requires loads of
processing h.p. to be efficient. And no transcodimg is necessary.
