That's because the tone of the conversation there is . . . such that it is 
inappropriate for the company to have directions for on their website.

Here's my old disclaimer about it.

*FAIR WARNING:  The Deadlands-OT list was created to have a list where the 
regulars could take their off topic conversations.  One of the only rules 
is. . . no rules.  (Almost.  Attachments are still forbidden.)  That pretty 
much means that the OT list started at the bottom, worked it's way down, 
and has constantly strived to remain there.  Aside from the normal 
vulgarity, this list is where people can make personal attacks against each 
other, rant about their jobs, talk about each other's body parts, etc.  It 
is not a polite place nor does it usually have anything to do at all with 
Deadlands, Brave New World, or even role-playing games.  None of the game 
designers post to it in an official capacity and it has no official 
relationship with any game company whatsoever.  There is absolutely no 
worthwhile content on this list.  It is filled with senseless vulgarity 
interspaced with occasional piercing personal attacks on people.  If you 
still live with your parents they probably don't want you reading the OT 
list.  Do so at your own risk.

Don't be humble. You're not that great.
