    I think it might work but it is going to need to be defined very very
    carefully -- does it include "war", does it include "libertarianism",
    etc.? Then who is going to police things to decide when a discussion
    thread turns decidedly political -- or can you not mention politics
    in any way shape or form on the Extro List anymore (its going to be
    hard for people to self-police themselves on that)? I'm not sure
    exactly where you stop. Should we not have ExtroInvesting,
    ExtroBayesLogic?, etc.

    I don't feel strongly one way or another, I just think if we go down
    this road its going to be a little more complex than we might initially
    think.
