It's been one long, drawn out Midol Moment around

weeks. Please take it elsewhere. I joined this list to be able to
learn more about old computers and maybe increase my stash of goodies.
Unfortunately, the list is being inundated with some of the most
bizarre socio-politicol folderol that I've ever seen. Occasionaly OT
runs are to be expected. We're a very varied bunch with a pretty
impressive array of interests. Unfortunately, when the irrelevant
totally overwhelms the relevent, problems arrive, tempers flare and
interesting people leave the list. That's not fair to the rest of us
left.
I have an idea. Let's implement the Dick "Big Tool" Erlacher method of
list moderation. Anyone should have the capability of blocking anyone
else from the list. That way, people will certainly stay on topic as the
moment they go off topic (and offend someone) they will be instantly
blocked, no questions asked.
