 GS> I read comp.lang.forth, but I have Forthnet in my kill file, because
 GS> it's got too much BBS chatter. Cut your count of readers down to 325.

 Aside from messages like this, I'm not aware of a great deal of
 "BBS chatter".  Most of the messages here are pretty directly
 Forth-related.  We have a separate area for Forthnet admin-type
 discussions, along with numerous other non-Forth conferences.  I
 agree with you that idle chit-chat is undesirable here, but have
 not yet noticed it as a problem.
