My $.02 or less.

OT stuff has been interesting at time and sometimes way too
far off topic.

Too many mee tooo postings.

Foul language, so what. It tends to label the user and may be
archived somehwere to bit them later.

As to politics; if the topic is how Alan Turning was treated
while alive its on topic, maybe. If it what the {pick your non favorite)
is doing today it's NOT classic and OFF TOPIC.

In the end though,... when my mail from here exceeds seventy
or more messages a day all usually deleted on sight it's time
for me to consider exiting the list as it's no longer useful and
far to much work to read and possibly post to. Right now I'm
fairly maxed out and doing mail management for that many
messages from one source with an added very high noise
to signal suggests it's time to pull the plug.

I think far to much has been said and the best, easiest and
fastest solution is to simply stop replying to OT threads. If
by chance a OT thread has some valid content copy it to a
new on topic thread and get on with it.
