I've been here going on four years, and several members have been around for longer than that... from experience, I can tell you that new members posting "Hey, be nice, don't post off topic things" just doesn't work. Actually, it doesn't work when older members try it either. The off topic discussions have probably occurred since the beginning of the list; and the fights have been like this for a couple of years now. Basically, if you've only been here a couple of days, that's not long enough to get a feel for how things work on this mailing list. Lurk for a while, and see how things go. Real conversations DO happen on occasion, and there are some great people who still haven't carried out on their threats to unsubscribe. If you just watch for a while, you might be surprised to find that sometimes decent posts slip through - probably by accident, but still. As far as religion - given the themes in many of Creed's songs, the religious discussions aren't going to stop anytime soon. That's another topic that's been around for ages. If you don't like a topic, just delete the whole thread. If you don't like certain posters, just block them. Telling other list members what to do and what not to do just doesn't work.
