I figure when people named this mailing list for MGs that it would be
for exchange of MG only information, and that's why I signed up.
Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I've always figured a few meanderings
off-topic were OK for newsgroups, but mailing lists should stick to the
topic at hand since everything, supposedly, is being dumped directly
into people's in-boxes and they probably wouldn't appreciate having to
go through non-list-specific traffic trying to filter out what's useful
from what's not.
Discussion of racing takes place on hundreds of other forums
specifically created for that purpose. You'll probably find a more
diverse audience for your F1 thoughts on one or more of those than you
will on a list created for discussion of a car that, last I heard, does
not currently compete on the F1 circuit.
I've probably already said too much.
