Philosophy of science, and non-technical subjects should also be
excluded, no matter how 'serious'.
I like the philosophy of science stuff --- within limits. Sci.physics
would be better if postings on the Many Worlds Interpretation or Is Physics
Discrete or Religion And Science were cut off when they stopped saying
anything really new. (The same goes for Should the Govt. Fund the SSC.)
For that matter, despite the enormous volume on the misnamed Many Worlds
Interpretation, I still haven't seen the definitive posting--- one that
would give a brief account of decoherence, or Griffith's histories
or Omnes' logical interpretation. Perhaps it was there, but I missed it
under all the chaff.
And let's keep the non-serious stuff, at least when it's like the "Happy
Birthday Isaac" posting.
