I take your point but it may be worth mentioning that this
list has always had as its topic hardboiled and noir
literature. The current description is: "For the discussion
of hardboiled and noir writing."
Now I certainly enjoy and participate in some film
discussions and I can hardly object to music as I have been a
party to many a jazz discussion on such artists as Mingus and
Miles Davis. Still, there are times when we are very far
afield.
