all I came here for, mostly, was help with C programming and I see very little that applies to me. What doesn't if I can help, I do, if not, I just delete it and move on. Works for me, I'm on many lists for different things and if I stopped to read every message, I'd have no life. I read what interests me and delete the rest with out even looking most often. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Octavian Rasnita" <orasnita@xxxxxxxxx>

I am programming in perl, and there are tens (if not hundreads) of mailing lists just for programming in perl, each one with a specific thread, and even on those lists use to appear off topic threads.
Blindprogramming is a general programming mailing list and there could be much more threads of discussion and subjects to discuss than the number of members, so there will always appear off topic subjects for a part of the members.
Some of us are interested in the accessibility of the GUIS, some of us in web programming, some of us in some certain languages, and even if some messages are very on topic, they could be very uninteresting for some of us.

The editors, IDE's and how we communicate with our sighted programming
colleagues are certainly part of what we must deal with. And I think that a 
lot of coding questions could be better answered if people could find the
right forum of sighted programmers. This is just a high-traffic list with a 
poor signal-to-noise ratio, but often it continues to be a good source of
information about new developments. People just need to remember that there 
are a lot of people reading the mail on this list, and that there are
hundreds of other lists where some questions could be asked and issues
discussed.

Hi Ken,
I noticed, and I struggle with what to yell at people about. I guess I
figure people must be using editors for programming and it must be on
topic. I'm sorry that bothers you. Does anyone else have strong feelings
about this?

Jim

Even with all the complaining about off topic we do more talking
about editors, peoples software releases, Cell phones, and things not
programming related than we do programming related. It has gotten so bad that I am thinking of creating a rule that runs a spam filter that detects mails that have nothing to do with programming all though I am not sure I 
can catch all the garbage I just was amazed when I looked over the last
weeks email from this list and saw how much really had to do with
programming and how much had to do with other crap that had nothing to do 
with coding.
