Dear All,
As many of you have stated, both on the list and off, we do have a good
thing going here. There are a number of veteran users here who have
consistently offered help to new users. The list also helps us at Dancing
Dots to offer support to individual customers while giving the same
information to others who may have the same question or challenge.
Ivan's original question was not unreasonable. He is a new user and he is
seeking our help and support. He is asking that people stay on topic. We
all do need to strike a balance between maintaining the genuine spirit of
comradery here while always being careful to keep purely chatty messages off
the list and sent directly to those most interested. The recent interchange
between Kevin and Mike about scheduling an interview over Skype is a good
example. Perhaps neither realized that they were actually communicating
over the list and not directly. And, as I wrote earlier today, search
engines will find you answers about how to use applications like Skype much
more efficiently than sending an off-topic post to our list.
But, returning to the balance idea, seeing such posts on this list does not
ruin my day or upset me greatly. But I do think it's time for all of us to
pay closer attention to what we post here and what we should send directly
to list friends off the list.
I agree that it is also time to take a breath and/or a long walk and
institute a cooling off period. I do not ever like to see abusive language
from any list members to any other members. If it continues to happen, I
will have to consider unsubscribing offenders. But, please, let's not get
to that point.
Obviously, if this list isn't proving helpful to a particular subscriber,
that person is free to unsubscribe themselves. I encourage Iván or anyone
else who does not want to read lots of individual posts to switch their
subscription options to "Digest". Go to
http://www.dancingdots.com/main/listserv.htm and use the form there to
change subscription options.
Regards,
Bill

Darren,
He's been emailing us off list also. It's not funny, nor a joke, nor
something to be taken lightly at this point. He's taken offense at people's
friendly overtures on here to the point where you'd think someone did harm
to one of his family members or something. Ridiculous and accessive;
wouldn't you say?

Oh come on guys, we're better than this.
We don't have to resort to custard pie chucking and bad language.
Everybody just take a breath.

Hey Ivor!
I suggest you either grow-up, learn some grace, or simply f*** off!
You are being offensive, ignorant, rude, and, let's face it, displaying some
rather psychotic tendencies...
I don't know you, and I don't like you!
Lastly, if you're gonna post on this list, either utilize wordcheck, or go
study my beautiful native language properly!
I'm offski now, and when I return, I don't wanna have to listen to any more
of your seriously nescient drivel...

It is realy easy to open up your mouth and make
suggestions when your not talking about your own time and
resources.
I also think that your assuming too much about my
character when you say , "cheer up."
This listserve is not my life, but it has been ocuping
more than I care at this point.
At this point I am outwaiging the cost and benifits of
bing on it and at this point I am about to live it.
The list has been taken over by politics and personalities
rather than principles.
The principle is that I joined this list to ask for help
as the CT manual instructed it not to get your personal
stuff.
If you cannot get that, than, it may not be worthwhile to
for me stick to arround.
You guys are doing a wonderfull job at alienating someone
who is in need for this list, but if you don't care, why
should I.
