This is guix-grownups, although we accept grown-ups of all ages.
Glad to hear it :)
But the serious part of my post was

WDYT of starting a list called "guix-off-list" to provide a
place for those who enjoy this kind of discussion?
I do enjoy such discussions sometimes, but not on the same
plate as debug tracebacks or beautiful code examples from
the virtuosos.
I don't mind single-line BTW or FYI or IMO: footnote
references to out-of-thread content if the rest of the post
contributes something and isn't just one line in a full
quote.
Having a "guix-offlist" would enable a reference like
"IMO:guix-offlist: bitcoin explained by me ;)"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The idea being to help factor off-topic discussion out of threads
without interfering with people's desire to follow up with
interesting ideas. Or not-so-interesting ideas :)
Thoughts?
Kind regards,

I think it would be a good idea. There have been a couple of threads
recently which have taken a lot bandwidth in the main lists where the
topics have been interesting, but perhaps not on topic for the group.
