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.

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. I'm sure I'm in the minority on this, but
I'd like to see a show of
hands - how many of you are lurking on this list with the faint hope
that some tiny (but usefull) bit of information might just drop from
the sky?
You called the lurkers, so here I am. ;-)
I don't have any problems with more open subjects in this list. After
all, the more digressed subjects, come labeled Off Topic (at least,
they should). I've learnt lots of interesting things with this list
and think it would be bad for everyone to restrict the matters. If
something has to do with linux and audio, it is wellcome here, ain't
it?
My 0.02 cents...
