Actually, it does.  It isn't a general computing list.  People sign up here
specifically for Midrange information.  If it got to the point where I was
deleting half the topics because they were all involving OS/2 Warp, I would
most likely unsubscribe.

I have lists for specific topics and resources.  No one signed up for this
list for general computing.
