On IRC, when a conversation wanders offtopic, one of the ops just nudges the participants and says "hey, you should move your conversation to #gentoo-foo" (or "##foo" or whatever). Wouldn't it be easy enough for someone to do that here? It'd be pretty easy to specify what's on- and off-topic for each list, and it would be friendlier than moderation, just like it's friendlier for IRC ops to ask you nicely to switch channels than to simply kick you out. --Thomas Tuttle -- Thomas Tuttle - ttuttle@ttuttle.net - http://www.ttuttle.net/ -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
