I do like a list where I feel I can post anything I want to the list as long 
as it has some relevance.  My complaint is the postings that essentially say 
nothing, such as "I agree", or "Well said", and other stuff like that. 
While those sentiments have their place, if you agree or just want to 
express a personal thought, send that to the sender off-list!

However, I like the ability to post, and read posts, that don't necessarily 
have to do with ham radio.  This is the blind hams list, and so blindness 
topics are, in my opinion, fair game.  It wouldn't make good sense, for 
example, for the ARRL to say that rag chews on the radio should only deal 
with ham radio matters.  We like to rag chew about whatever's on our minds.

Now;
The list is what it is.
If their is something  someone doesn't want to read, delete it.
It's just like changing the frequency.
If you don't want to hear something change it.
