I think we're all on the same page and the thread that shouldn't have been can now die. :-) Thank you, Chuck (419) 529-2444 ext.7134 _____ From: ncolug-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ncolug-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bob Leach Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 10:42 AM To: ncolug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ncolug] Re: Friday the 13th!

Bob, Thank you for your post on this matter. Many of us do foresee Linux and Open Source Hardware & Software having a more significant impact in North-Central, Ohio. I hope the LUG can be a resource for NOITA. Again, my opinion on the matter of Henry's original post should not be viewed as a negative opinion of Braintree nor NOITA. It was, and is, my opinion - and the opinion of many - regarding off-topic posts.

On behalf of Braintree and the Northern Ohio IT Alliance (NOITA), I will not use your list serve as a method to discuss our events, post advertisements or anything else of this nature. I subscribed to your list serve about 6 months ago so I could keep up on general conversation of this group and have not posted anything. I will only send out information to people who request to be on my in-house mail list. This forum is not the proper place for posts concerning NOITA's or Braintree events. Please be assured my goal is to provide an environment for increased economic development of Information Technology.

You missed Larry's point. This list is about/for Linux & Open Source Hardware and Software. You posted a message about Baintree. When asked about why it was posted to this list, your response was about us meeting at Braintree. Larry's comment was a suggestion that, if your argument is sound, MT would be able to advertise on this list. Advertisements are not to be a part of this list. Even if it's an ad for our host. I have nothing against Braintree or the IT Alliance, I do not want to read about what they are doing on this list, unless it's something about Linux and Open Source Software & Hardware.
