That's part of the charm of this list. Information with a bit of
socializing. I think of this list as a coffee machine where you can ask
a serious question and perhaps a not so serious one. I belong to many
other lists where staying on topic is required. But I gain more
incidental knowledge here. I think it works because the list is rather
small.

Are discussions of the list itself off topic on the list?
