I can remember back when I would wake up in the morning to have over 300 list messages on screen. And, many of those were Off-Topic but, usually, people were reasonably active in labelling them as such. On the other hand, the majority, as it is now, would be on topic. Some _technically_ productive content would be there, and often, once that purpose had been served, many of those would become off-topic, also. But, as I have recently stated, interaction, within a community, is important, whether the content is on or off-topic. Within reason. When carried to the extreme, it's not productive. And, further, those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We've had an off-topic mailing list in the past. I actually signed up for it and spent a little time there. It was a ghost town. It simply didn't work. Cheers! Harry. -- `Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth'. -- Albert Einstein
