[Cz-L] On Topic, Off Topic.

Every now and then we receive a post from the moderator saying:
 " ...your post is off topic and not submitted to the list... ".
   Topic meaning genealogy - looking for relatives from Czernowitz
  and surroundings.
    Of current posts how many deal with this kind of topic ?
   One percent ? Maybe less. According to the archives the
   list exist since 2002 and has some 350 members.
     All joined years ago and had their queries answered (or not).
    What kept them in the list ? Assisting others - if they can.
      What else ? Other issues - all off topic.
      As stated before if we kept to the rule the trafic on the
      Ehpes would be very,very low.
        What fills the space ? Subjects like:
           Museums
           Popovici
            Cemetery
            Yiddish
             Cooking
              Books
               Book keeping
              Travel advice
                Krenwurstel
                 Lokshen
                  A Babes a Zwiok
                  and other matters that make life interesting
                  and we like discussing,
                  related to Czernowitz ,but not only.
                  Filter these out and what have you got ?
