You have absolutely right.

I suggest to shut down the list for say one-two weeks.
Then turn in back and see the discussion volume and quality.
If dissapoints you turn off the OT topics.
The problem is most people over here likes to talk.
I suggest than all american/english readers to answer in french or spanish, all
european readears (except english) must ask/answer in english.
In that way asking and answers will be concise.
On Microchip forum the posts are very short and concise (and many of
them infantile).

greetings,
Vasile
