A plea

I think it would be nice if we had fewer off-topic postings on the list.

Almost half of what is going on is about university programmes, career
opportunities, TV, politics and auxlang advocacy, all of which has
nothing to do with conlangs except the last item, which has its own
list, AUXLANG.

If you ask me, the CHAT: label in a subject line is a sorry excuse for
an off-topic posting.  Better do not post it.  We could do away with the
CHAT: postings and several other and thereby reduce traffic a lot.  I
HATE wading through about 100 posts by day tossing half of them because
they are not interesting in any way and in fact do not belong on the
list.

Thanks in advance for your attention,

Joerg.
