Like any topic on a list, if you ignore it than it has no effect on you.
I'm not opposed to a restaurant that has items on the menu I don't care
for. I choose those I like to order. I don't see the problem.
I've tried my best to stay out of this because nobody,
repeat nobody, wants to hear the response to such an
attitude. But the more of this thread I read, the more
I see the need to remind everyone. And the reason you
don't see the problem is because you are part of the
problem. I'm not singling you out, just seeing this as
a good place to clear the air again before we're
completely swamped.
This was a pure silver list and became the only
remaining such source on the planet. Inconsiderate
childish digital proponents have never been happy that
such a thing is still allowed to exist. They will
never be happy as long as we have any respite at all
from the meaningless digital drivel. I don't have any
complaints about digital, only with the inconsiderate
digital users that won't let me pick my own hobbies
like they pick theirs.
We couldn't get the proselytizing and insults to stop.
A new list was formed, I think called silver bits,
for those who wanted to mix the two. We still get
sporadic insults from people who somehow think we are
either too stupid to know digital exists, or we are
only stuck in our time warp for lack of their special
enlightenment, or we choose our hobbies on the basis of
cost or convenience, or we should all be able to just
get along even though they are rudely intruding. The
new list should be thriving judging from the interest
shown here before and after it was set up.
Digital is not off thread here, it is spam. It has no
meaning and no application whatsoever to a pure silver
list. Yes, silver users understand some people like to
mix film and digital, like the new list was set up to
accommodate, and we don't need to be told that again
and again. Is it possible for digital users to
understand that there is a huge array of resources out
there for them and it might be a sign of maturity to
leave the last pure silver list alone?
Go hassle the horse people about the advantages of an
automobile for a while.
I know, I don't have to read it. And I also know you
don't have to send it for me to slowly suck out of this
rural dialup connection. Now which makes better sense,
keeping in mind the name of this list?
Before the childish digital proponents defend their
continuing attack here on decent people's hobby, I
sincerely hope they will consider the name and the
intent of this resource. There are thousands of
resources out there that would benefit from such input.
Go there and complain about someone on a pure silver
list having the absolute gall to ask for a little
consideration.
Okay, the IQ test begins.
