*not* ask on the list, as weird as it may seem, but this is off-topic chat. :-)
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.
