<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">My main concern for this email list has been that discussion on technical issues in relation to potential new formats could quickly run into a hundred different areas and rabbit
holes, and could quickly become very randomizing. And I don’t think that’s good because (i) some could be chased away by volume of traffic they’re not interested in, (ii) it would be harder someone to focus on any of those discussions if they _<i>are</i>_
interested, and (iii) in the meantime it would make it harder to focus on any work relevant to the _<i>current</i>_ OFF project.</span></p>
