Killing the List

[Kevin E. Ramsey RPT]

    OK, at this point I have to agree. Sure, the real benefit of the list is
the technical information flowing back and forth; that's why we're here.
But, we are all real flesh and blood people here, with a common profession
and shared lifestyles. Generally we spend our days working with various
customers who know very little about what we do. Often, when we have an
"Aha!" moment, it due to some small point of minutia which we wouldn't even
bother trying to explain to our clients. In short, we spend most of the time
working alone.
    That being said, I'd have to say that I really look forward to the
fellowship that I find on the list. Sure, all the technical stuff is
wonderful, but I'm sorry to have to point this out; people are going to be
people. They're going to open up to each other and share their thoughts.
I've gone through hundreds of postings, scanning some and thoroughly reading
others. I'm as guilty of being off topic as most. Somehow, I don't feel that
I'm "ruining" the list. But keep trying, maybe you can shame me into your
way of running the list.
    As far as a moderator goes, when you do that, then the list is REALLY
going to cease to exist, because whoever you get will have a personality,
and that will effect who they decide to "moderate" and then the other
personalities will take up sides, and people will get mad and drop off.
    OK,, now, make sure your pilot light on the end of the flame-thrower is
still lit........
