Probably a bit more work for the mods but most off-the-line threads seem to spawn themselves from Commercial threads of late.

i dont agree - *any* post must conform to list guidelines, and if commercial posts dont, they need to be discussed on list. And remember - intervention of list admins is the last resort. We seem to be doing a pretty good job of policing the list ourselves. I dont think anyone has been banned or moderated since I joined this list. Which is a great thing.
