We have two legitimate concerns here. A lot of people dont want to be spammed with offtopic posts, dont have the time to filter the ontopic posts, etc. On the other hand it would be a shame if there wasnt a way to extend the community of the mailinglist beyond strictly topical things for those who feel like. This is a problem faced by most other mailinglist I read as well and the best solution I came across is the one of the muddev mailinglist (mentioned in an earlier post). They have a separate "Meta" mailinglist where threads are moved once they become offtopic or where one can post things not related to the main mailinglists topic at all, just addressed at roughly the same audience p On Wed, Nov 06, 2002 at 05:45:46PM -0500, Graham Seaman wrote:

Die Liste hat ein Thema und die Leute haben sich genau deswegen auf dieser Liste angemeldet. Sie mit absoluten off-topic-Sachen wie Obigem zu belästigen ist eine Respektlosigkeit und ich kann auch nicht im Leisesten erkennen, wie solcherart Grenzüberschreitungen auch nur einen entfernt emanzipatorischen Charakter haben.In his conference talk, Michel Bauwens told how he was once in a Trotskyist party which completely separated political life from social life; so that when he was in hospital with a serious illness not one of his party friends came to see him. One of the things that appealed to him about free software and similar phenomena was that this separation was not there.
