Hello all, A few points about the great debate: 1. The project is ON TOPIC for the list as best I can tell. Yes, some of the posts have been somewhat fluffy and alot of traffic has come about from it. I don't think that takes it off topic. 2. The idea (and I've thankfully forgotten who's it was) that the posts are unsuitable to the list because some of them are made by Americans is WAY OFF IN OUTER SPACE. Somebody needs to make a reality check on that one. 3. If anyone says "This list has become too busy. Some of the content is too light and not very fulfilling." I suppose their opinion should be respected and their wishes ought to be considered when posting. So far, I haven't heard that yet; Just alot of whining and accusatory "You people are ruining my beautiful list" kinda crap. 4. I can show respect for anyone who will do the same for me, and I think I do. Meanwhile, I have ALREADY reduced the frequency of my posts. Anyone who feels a post of mine is off topic is welcome to ignore it. 5. I will be very happy to participate in a seperate list devoted to Jeri's projects and related topics as soon as one is setup. That should satisfy people's desires to have a more targeted list with less traffic. I REALLY HOPE that doesn't mean the other readers here will not also participate in the new list. The last thing I want is for the community to become factionalized in ways that prevent the free exchange of ideas and experience. I think we'll be better off keeping a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect. --- Bo Zimmerman <bo@zimmers.net> wrote: > I have to agree with Ruud.
