If you go to the posts from the yahoo groups site, you can pretty easily skip the ones you don't care about. Personally, I do look for the posts seconding a rec - some of the recs are pretty iffy, so I usually skip the inital rec and just check things out if a handful of people (or someone I know and respect) confirm that it's worth checking out.

There can be a Shakespeare fandom?
Shakespeare was my first fandom. Of course, it was pre-Web, and I was pretty much pre-clue, so for me it was pretty local, but yes, I'd say that there can be rabid Shakespeare fandom.
