There is the linart list. I've thought throughout
reading this thread
that much of the discussion might be appropriate there. It is currently
a very very quiet list. I don't even remember the address. But, I know a
bunch of the people on this list are subscribed there. If I remember
correctly, discussions about the creative (and perhaps spirtual) were
welcome there. It might just be possible to make that the warmer,
friendlier, less technically bombastic place you're seeking.
I think I found it - here:

Appears to be defunct (since 2004), but thanks for the suggestion, Eric.
I still like the *idea* of a 'Linux Audio After Hours pub - where OT is
always on tap', but it just depends on whether I can find the time to put
it up. (Doubtful.)
(Currently own 7 domains I had big ideas for - all just sitting there.) :(
It looks like things can get pretty OT here without it bothering anyone
much - just seems to depend on people's mood and what is being discussed.
Cheers,
Maluvia
