Did you post a message on webhostingtalk asking the same question there, or did you just search the archives there?

While I oft have a concern about Dan's abruptness in his cajoling of off-topic posts, I do have to agree with him.  I am sure there are lots of topics that would be of interest to the people on this list, however if it is not specifically related to Cobalts, then the topics most likely have a better on-topic home elsewhere.

The reason for my reply on this thread is that I am on the verge of turning off this list due to the large amount of off-topic messages that clog it.  I'd rather not do that because this is a great source of Cobalt info, however I don't have the time to wade through off-topic fluff and contribute at the same time.
