Ahh, if only that were a mailing list and not a web-based monstrosity ;) (I'm 
not much of a fan of using the web for stuff that works perfectly well with 
existing tools!)

Personally I like the balance on this list - not too much off-topic stuff, but 
there is a little which is nice. It'd be a bit boring I think if every single 
post was on topic!

Spelling / grammar - I don't know, I tend to be a bit picky about it, but that 
doesn't mean to say that I don't make my own mistakes often enough (I'm happy 
for people to point them out, though)

cheers
