 computers, old radios, military surplus, mushrooms, forts, mining,
 railroad junk, history, and loads of others. The people on this list
 are by far the worst offenders for disregarding list charters and
 rules. Very little self control, and too lazy to post off topic
 questions on the myriad of other lists that are online. Why is this? 
Because we're social creatures I expect, who enjoy a bit of interaction
outside of a specific topic. I can't imagine people go to VCF, say, and talk
*only* about classic computers all day long - other things will sometimes crop
up simply because we're human and it's natural for that to happen.
