I have to say that I am torn. This is the second time (at least)that this
very same discussion has taken place on this list, and both times I think
it has out-paced all other competing threads. I believe that it is
relative to this list, as I suspect that everyone subscribed to it has
been affected by it. However, I also believe that it does overwhelm the
more 'on-topic' discussions, and could become a frustration (to some).
Perhaps a vote is in order? We are a democracy after all ;-).

2 additional points:
1.> I do understand that there are other, perhaps more appropriate places
for a discussion of this type, however I suspect they would not be one's
to which I would subscribe (in fact, this is the only free-form discussion
list I subscribe to anymore).

2.> I often delete whole threads that I have no interest in, regardless of
their topic. I do not find it a burden. I find it much more of a burden
deciding whether or not I should delete "apogee diction woohoo" or
"support armpit dating" (actual email subjects ;-).
