Agreed wholeheartedly - with the VERY LOW quantity of posts these days
-- compared to the list's heyday -- I think its not a huge deal to
delete an off topic post here and there if it doesn't interest me.
This list is a fucking skeleton these days, and I have to admit, I'm
pretty much still here for the fact that there are other people with
similar musical taste to mine and I'm interested in what they think,
whether it be about music specifically, or the 2008 US election, or
propaganda films, etc.
If it was 20 posts a day or more, and more than half of them were off
topic, Id consider leaving the list, but when you complain about
people making a couple off topic posts on a list that is barely
active, you're basically a hypocrite.
Suck it up or move on. IDM is dead. Let's hear what the people who
like IDM think about whatever topic keeps this mailing list alive.

Right, and I understand that. However, that's sooooo far away from
whats happened here.... the guy made one post. Furthermore if other
people take the bait and it turns into a valid discussion than it
seems even more fair.
I comprehend the desire for balance but I think the hyper critical
approach is a little over zealous.
