This list is for topics closely related to the optacon or to significant research and possible development of technology related to the optacon principle. Off topic messages are not appropriate here and definitely not welcomed. Furthermore any encouragement of members to post information which is off-topic to other lists is not welcome. The optacon is a very important piece of equipment to all of us and rightfully so. However, list moderators establish lists for certain purposes and members of a list are expected to play by the rules of the moderator. Not doing so can get you some nasty email or even suspension and possibly removal from a list. This list will not be used as a means of encouraging off-topic messages here or anywhere else. Optacon surveys and spreading information regarding the optacon is a good thing but this list will not be used to tread on the rights of people on other lists to maintain their own topics. I hope I have seen the last of encouraging people to knowingly break rules of this or any other list. Keep your enthusiasm in check and you break rules here or anywhere else at your own risk. Consider yourselves warned! To all of you who do obey the rules of list curtousey, I do appreciate your cooperation and I know other list moderators do as well. Thank you for your cooperation in this.
