I agree - I think that tagging things that don't specifically have to do
with big or little IA would make this list much easier to follow, and
would encourage people to notice when they are posting something off
topic.  This would certainly include to me the LDS posts, as well more
coding related issues, as well as flippant comments about other people's
more serious posts.  Honestly, the sheer volume of messages right now
makes it a slog to go through even in digest form, and certainly
precludes me from following the list in busy times.

This would allows those who enjoy a looser, more conversational style to
continue to get tangential posts, but those who would prefer a more
targeted list to ignore the less targeted posts.
