Consider this...this is a public list and people will knowing post off-topic. Sometimes they'll even say, "hey, this is off topic". Now, what would happen if you were sitting around having a couple of beers w/ your buddies and a friend of yours walked up and just started talking about something that hand nothing whatsoever to do with what you and your buds were talking about? Would you be the one to do that to your friends? How about a group of strangers?
Except that in that social context you cannot really say there is no moderation. Moderation will not be official, sure, but body language, awkward looks and maybe a wisecrack or two will most of the time quickly shut up that person. Or they will continue their conversation in a smaller circle, all things that are impossible or at least difficult to do on a ML. On a mailinglist you can continue off-list, but that is a one-to-one conversation, not a fork like you can have in your bar scenario. Also, if the guy won't stop jabbing, you can all start to leave and continue elsewhere. This doesn't happen on mailinglists, or at the very least it is a process that takes months to complete, instead of seconds. To steer a little bit back to on-topic, can we conclude that all computer systems in israel and the surrounding palestine territories are insecure ? Because, since all real security begins with _physical_ security, one can easily argue that all those systems are notorously insecure. ;-) Maarten -- Yes of course I'm sure it's the red cable.
