However, in rebuttal:
1.) I do know that I filter out dozens of messages per day,
and that others are fully-capable of doing the same.
2.) This is more based on camaraderie and mutual-respect than
the subjects you mentioned below.

I do agree, and I think it's worth another mention to the Website
Team to discuss a specific OT list for those of us who would like to
stray once in a while. After all, you can't spend every day speaking
with the same people on here without developing some common interests
and bonds.
With the Mozilla project, there's Mozilla-General, which is not at
all like PHP-General: it's a place for those involved in all aspects
of the Mozilla Foundation, projects, and sub-projects to discuss
anything at all. It's been brought up many times over the years, but
I still think we should have something like that here.
Plus, I think it would cut down (a small bit, anyway) on traffic
to the General list for people who don't want to filter. ;-P
