Yes, very true. 

Sometimes better threads are off topic. 

And I do think many a time....there's much rubble out there, but the gems 
make up for it. 

Anyway, as other have duly noted, there areoptions out there– with the lug 
digest you can pick & choose your interests & do a search to track them down. 
With the digest listing topics, the more the merrier, makes it easy to find 
the topics which draw from your personal interests.

What is great about this list is the diversity of opinion from all walks of 
life. This diversity engenders good & bad:) I've found new interests & 
discovered things I never knew I hated. Techn stuff is ok (& I have learned 
much, thank you), but it's the human interest stories that add the 
flavouring. The spice which keeps me coming back on & off to see what's 
happening on the lug. Harrison, Donal & many others keep things interesting 
for me...with assignment stories & other tid bits. (an example a few days 
back was the coverage about the hs students).
It would get old pretty fast if the lug was "solely" about lenses & camera 
bodies day in & day out. After a while you learn more than you need to know 
about those aspects to last an M6 lifetime.
