Having just read the mailing list etiquette, discussing bittorrent
isn't strictly forbidden. In fact, the word "torrent" isn't even
mentioned. Where it would cross the line is when you start talking
about bittorrent and a video file of any kind. If you were to ask if
there was a torrent for downloading MythBuntu, MythDora or other FOSS
type stuff that should be fine.
