Since the list purpose was to discuss the link between
faith and Linux perhaps the "rule" might be -- if you
cannot link your post "directly" to Linux then don't post
it here?

The moderators could create a CS-FSLUG-OT list for all
of the non-Linux topics that folks wish to discuss and
those who have time and interest for that could choose
to also subscribe to that list.

I subscribe to many dozens of lists on many different
topics and they are filtered into different folders
before I ever see them.

When I want to read general Christian discussion I go to
my Christian folder, when general technology (incl. stuff
about M$, Apple, etc) I go to another folder, when I want
to read about Linux then that folder, etc.

When a list becomes too eclectic then it becomes unacceptably
time consuming to sift through the noise for the substance.

Just a thought ...
