I do not think it will work, because it is against the logic how
communication work. We communicate in the same channel and go off topic and
then back to topic. It is not natural to change list because something goes
off topic.
I am also sorry for triggering some of the off topic here, but I am getting
annoyed from time to time by peoples attitude as well. There are
some "morally superior" users that try to impose their views. However I
prefer to stop as soon as possible to reduce the damage.
I hope this list stays as is and people just learn to respect each other
(and "plonk" as little as possible).
