I'm pleased to see that George uses the pub analogy in relation to the
conversation on this list because it is exactly what I encourage on the
football lists that I run.
Sometimes in the pub you talk to everybody; sometimes, you listen to
everybody: but there are times when the assembled throng splits into
smaller groups and talks about things that won't interest everybody - they
don't leave the pub to do that!
My football lists go off-topic more during the summer. Guess why? Yes,
because there's little or no football going on. Now, I wonder why a boating
group would tend to go off-topic more during the winter!
