With all due respect to my good list friends it seems some of you think we
are doing something wrong by having an off topic discussion.  This list, the
old original list, has been mainly

were segregated away from the main list.   I'd like to remind you that just
a few days ago there was almost no traffic on this list.  In fact it
sometimes goes a few days at a time without any postings at all.  It seems
to me that when someone does speak up and start a conversation that some of
you are complaining or at least making light of the off topic content.
