Yes you are out of line! If I wanted a PC or Mac listserve I would join
one. I joined this listserve to talk Vanagons. Very simple concept. Don't
you get it, if you don't draw the line somewhere where then do you stop of
non-Vanagon content? I am on at least 8 different types of listserves and
this is the only I've seen where there are so many flagrant abuses of the
off-topic rule. Most listserve members I've seen are more self-restrained.
And remember many users get the postings in digest form and can't delete
annoying of NVC's. So if you want to talk PC's, Mac's, or fetishes for
wadded panties, please take them elsewhere.
Thank you,
