> and I, too, will respond off-topic...
Great. Not only is Derek leading us to off-topicness
by example, but he's
made being off-topic chic :-(
Actually, I thought I discouraged it!
Maybe it's time to change the list charter:
anything of interest to
computer geeks, including the occasional old computer. I don't mind the
occasional off-topic rant, especially if it's microsoft bashing, but this
list has been about 75% off-topic since the new administration took over.
I vote for impeachment! (BTW, who is vice list-owner?)
Vice? Isn't that Ward's department? He has that signature about alcohol
and tobacco.
Seriously, I haven't been keeping track of off-topicness, but it seemed
about the same as before (maybe it's gone up a little recently, but not
solidly since I started). I think you're exaggerating.
Perhaps it would be better if I started approving messages. Then I could
still read the silly things everyone has to say but they wouldn't be
inflicted on others.
