yes, but if you read the original mission for this list you'll notice that
the co-founders set it up for philosophical discourse and not tech-talk and
trainspotting new releases...while a certain amount of these discussions are
always to be expected on a digital media list such as this it does tend to
dominate the bandwidth nowadays...
IMO: list members gravitate towards the safety of tech/trainspotting
subjects in fear of debating slippery topics such as aesthetics and
philosophy and incurring possible unpleasant (and personal) remarks made by
list members who are better off ignored...so I am not sure how to swing it
back to its original purpose...ideas?
