Chiming in to support Nick here, don't we generally permit open topics on 
the talk list?  Over the years, we've discussed everything from politics 
to hurricanes to science to business issues to abortion on this listserve, 
as well as non-linux computer-related topics. Surely a matter of young 
women's health and young men's peace of mind is a worthy topic. (By the 
way, Nick -- thanks for forwarding that news release.)
