It's gotten to an unusable space for me.  I regularly delete all messages
after scanning the subjects without reading them.  Up until approximately a
month ago I would actually read the majority of the posts to see what is
posted as well as learn from example code posted by others.  But given the
recent spate of off-topic garbage the list has pretty much become unusable.

I'm hopeful that something will change and the spammers/off-topic posts will
go elsewhere, but would very much appreciate being able to have someone step
in to stop the madness.
