Well, I'm frankly getting to old for this being a grown up. If this is offending it isn't meant as such. I mean, I have received complaints about posting on AF cameras, the MZ-S and what I think about my lenses on a Pentax discussion forum!. Note, it was not my opinion that was attacked but that I posted such things on PDML. And now you are telling me that posting complaints about OT messages are tedious? And that you expect to post OT without complaints? Dream on! I tell you one thing; every mailing list that practice what you preach above, posting whatever you like, turn into a hell. There are no exceptions. Regarding censorship: the only way to apply censorship on a mailing list is to post whatever you like. Nobody can stop you and you can flood this forum with your own interest regardless what other things. The only way to get what you want is to post. By posting OT you force your opinion thruogh regardless. Its the closest thing to censorship you can get because in the end the on topic stuff drowns in the noise.
