[atlantaprog] Stop the presses!

Time to step in as moderator! I'm just as guilty as anyone of feeding 
this off-topic thread. I have a hard time letting comments slip by 
unchallenged that I fundamentally disagree with. But I don't want to be 
as draconian as the moderators of other lists re. off-topic content. 
Some digression is fine from time to time, but I would ask that we all 
remember that the purpose of this list is to support "ART ROCK IN 
ATLANTA" and extended off topic rants will run off a lot of the people 
who we're here to serve. I think we're all capable of monitoring 
ourselves.

Now, back to the music!
