Hmm, I thought that would be a definite sign of a life, having some other
interest other than GW games :)

We have discussed about efficacy of US armed forces, the never-ending Void
shields vs Doomweavers, the blessings that comes with tolerant women, GW
insane pricing policy and most recently the handover of HongKong on the list.

That is probably more due to the list-culture. The 40k list maintainers are
pretty strict on the relevancy of topics on the list. The Epic/Epic40k list
maintainer however feels that the current "culture" are fine as it is.

And who am I to argue with him ? Especially since when I do enjoy the
off-tracked topics more often that not.

Quite a few people brought up this concern before and I do think that the
list does get off-tracked often. However, I totally agree with a guy (sorry,
forgot who it was) who pointed out that the Epic list is basically a social
list of people who happens to like playing Epic.
