Everyone on The List has been guilty, now and again, of writing off (and
sometimes off- off-) topic; however, I believe in some cases some attention
should be paid to the matter of DEGREE.
An occasional joke, flame, or personally-aggrandizing screed is fine & to be
expected; if it's ALL someone contributes, then there's a problem.
