Disclaimer:  I'm new around here (Philly), and not a big contributor to
the list, so my opinion likely isn't worth much, but...

I appreciate many of the recent OT messages.

I subscribed to this *local* linux list because I wanted to hear from
local people about local issues.  Finding a Linux-friendly PC shop,
diagnosing weirdness with regional ISPs, and discussing availability of
local ISP services (FIOS) seem particularly relevant to a Philly list,
and don't seem inappropriate to me.

There are lots of lists for Linux issues, but I know of only one where
the above mentioned topics might make sense...
