Had been un0subb'd for whatever reasons for a moth or two now and went to
the
Classiccmp.org site anmd see that all the off-topic, on-topic has been
cured with a simple system (well maybe not simple for the admin anyway) and
so far "I like". For now I'll likely lurk the list and see how things have
changed rather than going back to regular conversation. I do like the
changes so far, hopefully it will be just as nice between the 2 versions of
the list.
