A lot of good and well-taken points, although I think the subject-heading-changing could also be taken as an opportunity for amusing and entertaining creativity (see above)
But I have seen the serious-posters suggest that interruptions aren't permissible.
Not me, or, as I said before, if I've said something that could be taken this way, <Slave> I most humbly and abjectly apologise, madam </Slave>
The other solution--the one I suggested--is to set up a serious spin list. That puts the burden on the fans who want the serious threads, as opposed to putting the burden on everyone else. It's such a simple solution, I'm not sure why it's been met with a thud of silence from the serious supporters.
Because of what I've been saying. You *can't* have serious without silly, or silly without seriousness. I mean, when FC started, Avon Lust on the Lyst didn't die, did it?
Or, can you picture Judith's webside, if that went through?
"There are a total of three mailing lists for B7. The Silly List for B7 is Lysator, moderated by Calle (please observe that he is a bloke). Posts to this list cannot be in any way shape or form serious. Anybody caught posting about postmodernism, Marxist theory or Foucauldian analysis of the fabric and colour of trousers will be politely asked to leave.
The Serious List is called Penguin, and is moderated by whoever is shouting the loudest at any given time. Anyone caught posting anything which is not referenced by at least three accredited experts in their field will be taken out and executed in a humilliating manner, not to mention forced to surrender their doctorates.
The Freedom City List [REST OF POST CENSORED TO AVOID OFFENDING ANYBODY]..."
Hope this provided some entertainment,
