Hello,
Monitoring the list more closely, may solve some of the problems.

Subject: [bookport] About the List
When we first created this list, we intended it to be a place where
experienced Book Port users could talk with each other about cool tips and
tricks and where new users could tap us pros for information about how to
get started using this device to its full potential. Now, however, it has
turned into name calling and endless discussion about topics that have
really not too much to do with Book Port (i.e. switch to Linux).
How about you guys helping out a little and not all chiming in on a message
that might not sit right with you. In other words, as in the case of the
Linux suggestion, instead of starting a 50 message thread on why or why not
this would or would not be appropriate, just tap the delete key and move on.
We have to realize that there are people out there that would really benefit
from a intelligent discussion of various aspects of Book Port, but who are
not too interested in wading through lots and lots of traffic that has not
too much to do with the subject. At the same time, the list moderators
could much more wisely spend their time working on new Book Port features
and correcting known issues over baby sitting routy list members and reading
endless traffic about topics that, if they were truely interested in, they
could find on other lists.
Now, with all that in mind, we are thinking of setting up a new list that
would pertain to Book Port beta firmware and software. I think that if we
combine some behavior modifications with this shift of beta topics, this
list could truely be what it was intended to be, and the traffic would slow
down to a manageable level.
