Too much off topic

My 2? worth:

There is often too much off-topic discussion here for me to trawl through. If
someone wants a forum to discuss politics or whatever there are many options
that do not involve this mailing list. May I suggest:

        Usenet newsgroups (a HUGE number concerned with politics)
        Yahoo! groups or equivalent elsewhere
        Any number of newspapers and TV network web sites
        Setting up a separate mailing list (majordomo, or whatever)
        
Politics is endlessly fascinating, frustrating, and fractious, but not here
*please*! Let's all be happy nerds together.

And on that note... I've got a couple of Xerox 1108 (DandeTiger) machines of
which I am very fond and for which I would like to find more maintenance
information. Anyone got a set of blueprints about their person?
