[arachne] Re: Working (OT storms brewing)

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Sam, and other list members...
When I first founded this list, I did not make any
stipulation as to topics.  My primary, nay, sole intent
was to locate a mailing list server with digest capability
and pretty simple subscribe/unsubscribe functionality.
In regards to the original Arachne Mailing list...if
my memory serves correctly, while off-topic discussions
were tolerated to large degree, there would eventually
come a point at which xChaos would gently remind us to
try and stay on the topic of Arachne as a web suite for
DOS/Linux.  For the most part, that's what we did.
At the moment, some of the discussion in "active status"
on the Coollist group should probably be taken to
"personal private email", but, that is just my opinion...
I've sort of tired of the bantering about language, who
has the best Declaration of Independence, etc.
C U L8R!
