Conversly if you are more interested in FT the DS2 SG2 mails
seems the greater - I think this is subjective, id est
it depends on which game(s) interest you whether the
non interesting posts out-number the non interesting ones.

The message tag idea has helped this sorting of the list
I think its a lot better then it was. A big stick needs
to be applied every now and then to keep people on
subject and subject lines meaningful.

So where does all the generic stuff go, both lists? major
admin headache for the poster.

I vote No. Just keep to the rules on this list, use the tags and
keep the OT stuff to a minimum (as of a quick count now 60%
of messages are OT)

We've tried using on-line bulletin boards, but it seems people
much prefer THIS mailing list (warts and all).
