I wouldn't.

Where do you draw the line? Why do people subscribe to the list and what do
they hope to get out of it? I subscribe to get the great technical advice
availible here and to read reports of cool things people do with/in/around
their lbcs. I also like hearing about cars people see. Sometimes it does
get trivial, but that really doesn't bother me (then again I don't have to
maintain the list and handle all of that.)
If people want to email me their likes/dislikes, I'll summarize for the whole
list and hopefully save some bandwidth.

Well, some sites wouldn't get it. Some of us (like me) have news servers that
are almost always running a week behind and when that happens you lose the
ability to take part in any discussions because it's over before you see it.
You also would lose the club like atmosphere this list has.
