No kidding.

VV is by far the most verbose group I subscribe to.  A large percentage of 
the messages are off-topic and violate most common rules of netiquette.  If 
that's what you guys want, it's not my place to criticize - I just want to 
point out there are better ways.  It involves biting one's tongue a lot, 
deleting a lot of responses before sending them, and steely resolution not 
to jump into political, religious, or off-topic discussions.  I subscribe 
to lists that specialize in virus protection, so I don't need people 
telling me about new viruses they find.  I know how to check for fraud in 
an e-mail, so I don't need to know about every Nigerian swindle that 
someone discovers.  If this list is to serve as an archival resource for 
the expert information that it generates, it will be very difficult for 
anyone 2 or 3 years from now to wade through all the off-topic messages to 
find the "meat" of the resource.

JMHO YMMV BNI
