Aww you aught to get with the times and use the #OT flag.:) Another list I'm on is topical but allows for prepending a #ot to the subject. Then, users can filter and either reject all the #oT posts which keeps them from be bothered by the content and folks interested can read them. It's a pretty creative solution to the off topic problem.
