LAU should stay an open and central point for linux-audio resources of
any kind! if there's need that LAD can not accomadete, we should
consider a linux-audio-mastering or linux-audio-songs or linux-audio-pro
mailing list to refine gifts from the sky!

what a waste of cents, if you can can get beer for free :)
I agree.
Restricting topics would be a shame. Some apparently totally
useless topics scoring high on the digression scale sometimes turn out
to make unexpected "useful info" (not to all users I agree) just fall
out of the sky.
And as far as the "I want to sound like my favorite band" subjects are
concerned, I find them very interesting to the users whom are the
primary target of this list. Even if there's no artistic point in
trying to sound like someone else, it is sometimes the occasion to
hear about a piece of software some lurkers may not have heard of.
At no point did I suggest limiting list topics. Of course it's true that the
contributors of any list/forum determine the direction of discussions. I
kinda figured that folks were generally happy with the list - why else would
they subscribe?
But before I terminated my subscription, I wanted to express my general
disappointment and I wondered if anyone else had similar feelings.
