Ever heard the phrase 'Nature abhors a vacuum'? It seems to be the 
list has a dearth of off-topic posts because there is so little 
material, i.e., on-topic, AN1x related posts, to work from! And when 
an AN1x related question does find it's way to the list it often goes 
without a reply - not even a 'best guess' - for day's. If you want a 
more on-topic mailing list then it behooves you to participate 
actively and not simply bemoan the sorry state of the list. Thinking 
of unsubscribing? Who would notice?! Probably just me and only 
because I check the Activity settings periodically. C'mon people - 
we've a membership of nearly 500 users! Certainly we can do better 
than this :-/

That said, if you would prefer that I more actively moderate off-
topic posts then I'll be happy to do so. When I see a thread such as 
the 'Live Computer' discussion sustained for a few days with a number 
of opinions chiming in - I'm less inclined to cut people off when 
they are obviously getting something out of the discussion. How would 
you prefer I handle this? This is YOUR mailing list after all - I'm 
here to facilitate and administrate. I help when I can. Let me know 
what you want and I'll do my best to accommodate.


Opinions? Anyone?

Jon
