I wonder if people commenting on social aspects could be disciplined  
enough to insert [social] into the subject?

Thus if you want to talk about something kinda related to Linux that  
is more of social nature, just insert [social] into the subject. If  
you are replying to a thread about Project Y and want to comment about  
how Project Y has a higher proportion of women/footballers/motorheads/ 
other-non-stereotypical-linux-geek-population, just stick "[social]"  
into the subject. Some of us already try to be helpful by renaming a  
thread to "X (was Re: Y)".

The result would effectively be a separate list for longer meandering  
threads without having a separate list for longer meandering threads...
