WDYT of starting a list called "guix-off-list" to provide a
place for those who enjoy this kind of discussion?

I do enjoy such discussions sometimes, but not on the same
plate as debug tracebacks or beautiful code examples from
the virtuosos.

I don't mind single-line BTW or FYI or IMO: footnote
references to out-of-thread content if the rest of the post
contributes something and isn't just one line in a full 
quote.

Having a "guix-offlist" would enable a reference like
"IMO:guix-offlist: bitcoin explained by me ;)"

And maybe also a mailing list called "guix-grownups" --
where casual adult language is accepted without triggering
endless complaints.

Coming to some mailing lists these days I sometimes feel
like I've entered a restaurant where the menu is dominated
by allergy and spice concerns.

(I have nothing againt special venues catering to sensitive
minorities, don't get me wrong. What do I mean "minorities" eh? :)

Wonder what George Carlin (R.I.P) would say about all this
:)
