If 51% say Hagar leave us ? -----color me gone.


  That's not the issue.  
  The point isn't to leave or stay.  The point is to stay more on topic.  As 
Scott pointed out.  We DO wander off topic from time to time BUT it is 
either something that is found as generally and interesting topic of 
discussion 
or it goes for a days worth and is then turned over to p-mail for those 
interested.  
  Consistent, off topic posts especially when loaded with personal opinion 
rather than something pertinent, have generally not been tolerated.  However 
that isn't quite accurate since in the past, the posters have had the 
graciousness to STOP posting undesired OT topics.  
  A bit of life history that is reminded of, during a post isn't objected to 
in 
the least but post after post of OT, opinions (especially political) and the 
day's non-VW events does heavily detract from the point of the list.  
  It's quite similar to walking into a meeting about a new highway and trying 

to turn the discussion to school funding.  Sure theres a loose link and a 
thought or two might be tolerated but soon it would be disrupting the 
meeting, 
and either the discussion stops and gets back on topic or, as a last resort, 
the party would be asked to leave.  It would not be a vote of the assembly.  
The leader of the original discussion would simply have them removed.
  Let's just get back on topic (for the most part.)  ;-)
