[CoLoCo] ! purpose of the coloco list

[Mitch Mahan]

I had a similar thought –

 

How about adding a ! to strictly CoLoCo related e-mails (and removing that
bang when things fall off-topic?).

 

This way we can sort the mail for ‘casual fluff’ and ‘important stuff’.

The biggest problem, as with any list, is separating the wheat from the
chaff.

A possible solution is to include a flag (manually entered) of "Off Topic"
or something when it is not entirely an Ubuntu/Linux sort of thing, ( i.e.
[CoLoCo] OFF TOPIC Billy-Bob is having a Kegger, C'mon down y'all")

I guess I would be among those that say "it is what it is".  I like
the list the way it is. :)
