I don't have problem with a topic such as this being discussed on the list
(and I don't think many people would, either), particularly if it's a
lineside industry...

Rule of thumb: If you think it's somewhat relevant, post it. The worst that
can happen is that I'll get flooded with E-mails saying "what does this have
to do with EL?" and I'll E-mail you directly asking to take that topic
elsewhere...
