How about we all just remember to put that li'old "[OT]" at the beginning of the subject? Then we all can have our filters do all the work!

PS With my apologies to all people that were looking for Cocoa related stuff. It's just that sometimes replying can be very tempting... Perhaps Cocoa-talk mailing list won't be a bad idea...


Rather than going to the trouble to start a separate "talk" list, could we just refrain from replying to the entire list if a discussion goes off on a non-Cocoa tangent? If individuals involved in such a discussion hit upon something they think is of general interest, they can always move the dialog back to the entire list.

No, that won't work. If a thread moves back to the list after a hiatus, there will be a gap in the context and no history for those on the list. There will be a bunch of responses that will be redundant for those who were in the off-list discussion.

Also, you're stuck with the small group of respondents who collectively took it off-list. No new blood, and the on-listers won't be able to weigh in when the discussion turns to something they want to contribute on.
