*Personally* I think this is a low volume mailing list, a little drift
off topic is not a problem, especially as the application it is about
makes it so easy to filter on mailing list so it keeps everything in
one place.

The stuff about the disclaimer sig is actually not too far off topic
either so it's not, in my view, a problem.  I might take a different
view if someone started spouting politics.
