I will just stay away from any comments you have to say about me laz. I will
give you a ccarrot stick peace offering let's just start all over helping
each other. I don't want to argue with you. But I am trying to assist
people who need my help who are new bees with android. I am not going to be
bothered with any of that stuf that went on the other list. I will just
keep a professional approach to the list as this one is moderated . One
wrong move you get booted off the list.

Agree with the position about that other unmoderated list. I haven't seen
flaming, personal attacks, or even anyone's life being threatened here
unlike recently on that other list. This is a good safe list to send new
folks to Android for help, even if they came from iOS. Also, no cliques here
treating others as outsiders or anyone claiming to be an expert and treating
others like peons.
Just a very good list which offers very good help to all members without any
of the extraneous drama.
My thanks to the owner/mod! Without this list, I wouldn't have a place to
send newbys!
