What about one of the latest members :-)

I subscribed a few weeks ago, to a mailing list I then
*thought* was about programming and using PIC processors.

It wasn't just that. Most, but not all, of the EE stuff are
just fine, and some actualy related to PIC's, but why on earth
have a OT topic at all ? I can see that som (most?) of the folks
on the list know each other since many months/years, and that
there might be some topics that are in common interest to those
members, but then we have a kind of "closed" list.

Now, *if* the list should be some kind of "open forum", I *do*
think the concept of "topics" is just fine. But my personal
view is that, on a properly used list, those shouldn't be needed
at all.

Well, I supose my vote doesn't count as high as the votes
from the "inner circle" :-)
