I must be blind, because I don't really see this as a major problem. 
Clue-tech is such a low volume list; I don't have a problem applying the
bix X to anything that is OT, if I'm not interested.  Some of the OT
topics are technical in nature as well as interesting.   It all depends
on how benevolent (as opposed to rigid) the dictator is.
