So go, now. Nothing against you particularly, but I'm fed up with this sort
of crappy post.

In my view, few sane persons feel the way you do. Sane people understand the
way the world works, and that both moderated and un-moderated lists have
their value.

This is an unmoderated list. Sometimes it goes off-topic for a bit.

I thought we had got beyond people complaining about off-topic posts.

Easily the worst thing about off-topicality is the rush of complaints about
it from people, like you, who contribute very little in the normal course of
events. A complaint about off-topicality is something you can make without
needing to know anything about the subject of the list, you see. Amazing!
What an intellect!

I would like to suggest that anyone who thinks it intellectually justified
that they threaten to leave because of off-topical posts from others, leave
NOW.

Tony
