we don't have a cross posting policy that I know of. Marven Hunkin routinely posts to blindgeeks, program-l, programmerstown or whatever that is, and here as well as others I'm told. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jared Wright" <wright.jaredm@xxxxxxxxx>

Perhaps with all the archives of this list floating around, we could calculate the average number of messages per day in the last 6 months or a similar metric to inform accurately about list traffic.JW On 7/16/2009 7:13 PM, Haden Pike wrote:Alex and others, what would you say the list traffic is? I would view it as about medium, not high, but not low either. Also, what is the cross-posting policy? I wasn't aware we had one.Thanks.

What subjects are acceptable on this list?2. How much can these be stretched (can you ask how to use an IDE, for example)? 3. What happens if you post an off-topic message? Is this okay if you mark the message with an indicator, such as "OT"?4. What is the cross-posting policy? 5. If I reply to sender, what happens? 6. What is the average list traffic? That is all I have for now.

I think the recent list problems have mainly been due to how people have been using the list rather than duetolimitations of the FreeLists technology, which seems to workwell forthe JAWSScripts, Program-L, and other lists. I agree that is dumbforlist server software to get confused by the word "subscribe" in the subject, and other such anomalies, but think they have generally beenrare andnot interfered with the general functioning of the list. I thinkthatchanging to Yahoo or Google sounds like it would create as many problems as it solves. I suggest we stay with FreeLists but try tomanage thehuman interface better, including more regular intervention bythemoderator, less flaming, and perhaps monthly reminders aboutlistcommands, and a FAQ if we can find a volunteer to write one.Jamal__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
