Don,
I agree that off-topic discussion should not get out of hand, but it
is allowed here on a limited basis. To date, I don't think anyone has
abused the privilege, and in all the time I've been a mod, I can't
remember having to cut someone off because he/she "talked too much".
I have, on rare occasion, asked that a thread be stopped because the
off-topic thread was getting out of hand. Topics of religion and
politics seem to be good examples.
The amount of off-topic traffic we've seen on the list here in the
past many months is accepted and meets the criteria I outlined in the
previous post.

| | talk and talk about what ever interests us at the time.
| | Maybe many things said here is not about a tech problem

| | all the time.
| |
| | Besides, if G man started this group 6 years ago and

| | then where is he now and why does no one else know where
| | he is? If I had a

| | showing once in a while.
| |
| | Anyway, that's why I'm opening the new irc channel.

| | | | Sometimes I'm glad that G Man isn't around to
| | | | see what's going on here on his group!
| | | |
| | | | John
| | | |
| | | And what do you think is so bad about the group?
| | |
| | | I was a member a some time ago, lost the group
| | | (probably when it switched to
| | | freelists.org) and recently found the group again.
| | | It is every bit as good and useful today as it was
| | | before.
| | |
| | | I see no flaming or bashing. Everybody seems to be
| | | polite or at least not rude and obnoxious.
| | |
| | | Most messages are on topic... more so than in other
| | | groups I subscribe to.
| | |
| | | I don't think Gman would be upset at all to see his
| | | group today.
