RE: [MLUG] staying on topic

Why are we having this conversation yet again? It's one of the few threads
that really annoys me. For the most part the lists work fine. Lots of
useful information and convo crosses the lists. Two years ago the lists
were shit boring and often all but dead. I remember weeks without a single
post and posting questions only to have them go unanswered as nobody even
bothered looking at the list more than once every couple weeks.
