I'd vote to just go to the off-topic to begin with.
If you sort your lists to separate folders, you
can read or ignore the OT stuff.  Problem is that
people will reply in-place, by mistake, and then
there's no stopping it.

Cool idea.  But you'd want to duplicate the message
to the OT list.  And you'd want to add a header
on the message, to make sure people were warned
where their replies would go!  ;-)

(Should we take this discussion to the OT list?)
