Yes, because when I join a list on Free Software I expect it to be about Free Software. When I need arbitrary social issues I'll be sure to join a list discussing (or announcing) arbitrary social issues.
Once again, and this is in reply to Sasi too, there is a clearly-defined line between being on-topic and being off-topic. If off-topic discussions are permitted, please allow me to regularly present my views on subjects that I consider important but which may be of zero interest to other members of the group. Hell, who needs a list, let's just join Facebook or Twitter and continue our inane conversations there!
So without further ado let's talk about "Ravan", why it failed at the box office, whether this represents a decline in the Rai-Bacchan popularity in the country, who is likely to take up the slack -- SRK, Aamir, Hrithik or some new entity altogether? -- and how this changes the dynamics of the Bollywood Film Industry. I can bet more people would be interested in that than in some bill in parliament (and yes, I know about the bill and I support opposing it, but still maintain that it has NOTHING to do with this mailing list.)
