You think so. If a mailing-list really got out of control, you'd have
rules such as "forbidden to question mailing-list rules" and all of the
rest would just go in pd-ot.
Anyway... on pd-list a fair amount of off-topic has come to be somewhat
normal, given the general
postmodern/interdisciplinary/activist/experimental mindframe of the crowd.
I'm not so sure that pd-ot would ever take off. It would be a great idea
to make it take off and become "the flip side of pd-list" but I see great
difficulty in the discipline of flipping threads from one side to the
other and following threads across mailing-lists. It gets even worse if
there is any cross-posting between the two. Perhaps pd-ot is not what we
need.

this is blackmail, isn't it?
