:-)
Why is this OFF TOPIC?
I don't really care who is on the list or not, but a reasonable new thread
should never be considered OT
I was a little teasing. I remember being told that
talking about who was
banned in the IRC channel #freenode was off-topic because the channel is for
"freenode-help" and not "help about the channel #freenode". Either
way,
though, this is not something that should be discussed on the list, it
should be discussed (if anywhere) privately with the list-mods.
It makes no sense
to use being off-topic as an excuse for dismissing the
subject from discussion. Anything generally relating to how the list is
run is clearly on-topic, and certainly merits being discussed here.
Naming specific people still needs to be avoided unless the result of
the discussion says otherwise.
