Helo everyone, Judging by a few posts in the past day, I think it's time to clarify a few points regarding this list. 1. There is only one moderator for this list and he is writing this. All list policies are established and maintained by the moderator and suggestions in private email for expanding or improving policies are always welcome and will receive an individual response. But, the final statement and enforcement of any policy is the responsibility of the moderator. 2. This is not a moderated list, meaning that any member can post a message to the list. I take the position that all members are responsible adults and will conduct themselves accordingly. 3. The list moderator is not responsible for opinions expressed by others on this list, and any opinion regarding any subject including recommendations for Optacon repair are solely those of the poster of the message and the list has not and will not make any official recommendations. When people on the list read recommendations by others either negative or positive, they should certainly be considered when a choice must be made, but the ultimate decision must be made by the party involved, using their personal best judgement. 4. Any attempt by individuals to act as moderator policemen should simply be ignored as they are of no value at all. 5. If you have a problem with comments of an individual list member and wish to discuss this with them, please take such discussions to private email. In closing, I want to thank the 99.9 percent of the members who observe the list policies and respect it's purpose. It's all of you who make maintaining this list truly worthwhile.
