Such a place already exists. It is called the Glorantha Digest. Incomprehensible Depth is not a necessary feature of threads there, and given Mr Lord is one of the worst offenders for introducing such depths, perhaps the perceived problem could be cured by putting his own house in order?

Such is well within the remit of the Glorantha Digest.

Such is well within the remit of the Glorantha Digest.

The Glorantha Digest does not encourage censure of anyone for discussion of Glorantha at any depths.

I fail to see how a deep discussion of Glorantha can occur without referencing obscure info.

If it were up to me, the proposed list would go the way of David Boatright's ill-fated OpenHeroWars list. That too filled a hole that was not there.
Seriously, folks, a new mailing list needs a *good* reason to exist. There is already a home for all the discussions Julian mentions. Why not just use the existing mailing lists for their intended purposes?
