I've been very happy with the list, as have most people. We've had this argument
before, and most people prefered not being censored. I will not join a new list
where someone else decides if a topic is worthwhile or not. Very simply, if you
don't like a topic, ignore it. Most of the run-on OT threads were at least
doubled by people who felt arguing about the merits of the posts was useful.
