   I can appreciate that approach, but changing lists alone doesn't solve 
the core problem.  People who want to be distracting will just sign up 
for the new list and be distracting there.  But people who were 
interested in being on tor-talk for the on-topic discussions may not 
sign up for a new list.

   My personal opinion is that we could save a lot of work by sending a 
reminder about on-topic discussions, kicking off a few people if they 
don't listen, then moderating posts for a couple of weeks if it's still 
not abating.
