nklr list problem

I made this suggestion recently, but thought I would make it again
anyway.
I propose there be two lists, 1 for strict on topic KLR posts, the other
for NKLR. Those who like both the technical discussions and the
expanded sense of community that comes through discussing all topics
with other motorcyclists / KLR fans can simply subscribe to both. Those
who find themselves cursed with too many interests and are on too many
mailings can just subscribe to the technical list. Another mailing list
I am on operates in this manner and everybody quite likes it. Anytime
an off topic post comes through the technical discussion the poster is
simply asked to move it to the off topic discussion list, and tends to
be self policing and everybody's happy.

I kind of like this idea, it worked on another list I lurk on
(Kawasaki W650riders) when the war in Iraq was dominating the
posts.While I still believe that there should still be NKLR posts,
but, it wouldn't hurt to have another forum where KLR owners can
freely expound upon their political , religious views etc( basic hot
button topics). The key would be that only willing participants
would be involved.Mull it over.....cosmo

Why not just have the people that don't like the NKLR post filter them?
Is this not the reason to add NKLR to the subject line?

I guess because as I said,I think that there should still be NKLR
posts. NKLR posts are very much part of the List.It's those "hot
button topics" that just go around in a circle that need to be taken
to a secondary list.It seems a shame that such passionate well
thought out political arguments are being fought out on a KLR
list.With so many members I'm sure an offshoot list politicalKLR
would be a perfect forum for Guns , immigration ,war or the
possibility that a politician may have lied . It just seems like a
viable solution.....cosmo

Yes it is, but as normal, a few whine for change to make it more the
way they like it, even though there is something in place called using
NKLR on non-KLR posts.
Same reason we have all these stupid laws and changes, instead of
enforcing current law/rule, new ones are made that will have no effect
either if not enforced like the ones that were ignored.
For you people filtering this out, na nevermind you will not see this,
for those whom are not filtering expecting alot of change to the way
things happen on the list, just remember if you get it your way this
list will get extremely boring with nobody posting anything, other
than what oil, what tire/tyre, how tight is the chain ect ect ect.

Denis,
Some of us subscribe in digest mode...if we filtered
NKLR, we'd never get a message (unfortunately)...

Is this not the reason to add NKLR to the subject
line?

John your right.. I guess you could hit the page down button. Some times I
forget that only 65% of the US has broadband access.

I second what conall said. Diable Kawasaki/BMW is one of the best
shops in the Bay Area. its family run. If you call them they will
give you the OTD price on any bike. they dont B.S. around. most of
the Police and CHP in the bay area bring thier BMW's and Kawasaki's
to them to fix. he only thing bad I can say is, they charge lsit
price on parts, even if you buy a new bike from them. Hayward Honda
would give you 20% off (parts) markup for the first bike you buy from
them and 40% off (parts)markup for the second bike. i use to use my
friends name to get a discount on stuff at that shop
