Better yet, spend ten minutes writing a nasty response to the list.
It always makes sense, when bursting with anger about people who
waste your valuable time with off-topic posts, to waste more of your
valuable time writing an off-topic post about it.  ;)
</sarcasm>

Having been a member of various unmoderated mailing lists for the
better part of the decade, I have seen it all.  The signal-to-noise
ratio of this list is quite high, and the few members who believe
we've gone to hell in a Hyundai with the occasional posts about
Fords, felines, and pharmaceuticals need to get a grip.

This is a good list, full of intelligence and experience, people
who are more than happy to share with you.  It is also a community.
Not some electronic encyclopedia into which you type your SQR
question and the answer pops out on some tickertape.  You have to
interact with people, and that generally means dealing with all the
usual foibles that people have.  Like kidding around, like posting
off-topic, and so on.  As with any human interaction, tolerance
goes a long way.  There's a comfortable middle-ground between too
little and too much.

This is a public forum in some sense, but a private one in others.
Whatever the list owner deems appropriate for this list is the
rule.  As long as he doesn't mind us goofing around now and then,
it's okay.

Those who post about PeopleSoft here do us no harm, but they are
probably doing themselves injustice.  They'd get a better response
by posting on the PeopleSoft-specific list.
