in europe, same as in the US, there is a limited number of people who are at
least peripherally interested in participating. not everyone is interested
in everything - based on nanog experiences, there are rather large
(proportionally) groups of people who are only interested in discussing
spam, gmail invites or bad analogies for example. in our case, all of this
is merged into one discussion stream. in europe, with ripe running several
more specific lists, there isn't enough traffic for an "everything goes,
including crap" forum. </imho>
