I'm one of the ones that has been "here" since before there was a 
"here" here.

I'm not sure the good old days were as great as you suggest. Be that as 
it may, I have so tuned out the undesirable stuff here that I hadn't 
noticed it until the Electronic Communications Committee started 
talking about how the signal to noise ratio here was at an all-time 
low.

I've always thought that it wasn't OT posts themselves, for example, 
that were a problem so much as the inevitable following pro OT and con 
OT posts.

With that in mind, I wonder if any posts to the list that suggest what 
kind of posts are appropriate here might themselves be inappropriate? 
Now, keep in mind this post is just asking the question -- I wouldn't 
post a message myself that presumes to suggest which posts are 
appropriate and which are not. That would be inappropriate.   :)

Wouldn't it be nice if posts about which subjects are suitable would 
themselves be considered unsuitable and stay, if they are necessary at 
all, in private replies?
