We had an off topic list for years (over 10). I finally deleted it because it was completely unused.<br>
I certainly don't want to subscribe to a list that only contains random ranting on whatever doesn't fit on our other lists.<br>
<br>
My vote would be to either ignore off topic messages all together, and/or politely ask the person to take it to a more appropriate mailing list. There are other mailing lists that specifically deal with whatever issue someone might come up with, and we don't have to maintain or moderate them.<br>

I humbly submit that.... nobody will use it. How many lists are under<br>
plug's umbrella and how many people post to the other lists? We have<br>
discussed theis before a while ago and (I think it was) Brian said the<br>
other lists get no traffic. Unless things have changed.<br>

My vote would be to use the existing list for on topic<br>
discussions and create a new list for OFF-topic items! OTOH, I<br>
don't think either will go over well as either one requires a<br>
sizeable group of people to change their behaviour.<br>

In light of Lisa's request for a new list, I suggest we<br>
create a list for<br>
<br>
ON TOPIC ONLY<br>
<br>
People who are only interested in the specifics can join the<br>
ON TOPIC list and never be bothered with the "discussion" list.<br>
<br>
Can we vote on it?<br>
