I was being only sort of serious. When I pulled up my ADORG window in outlook today the quick glance showed pretty much all OT all the way down. I quickly scanned through the subjects[1] and marked most of it read. This evening, shortly before the post I got pinged by someone who said something like, good god, look at all the OT posts on AD ORG and then talk of too much OT lately and possible unsubscribing. I said something like, here's a tissue, now laugh it off. It goes in cycles, gets really bad sometimes and then really good at others, it seems to follow with how much time Rick has to post[2]. So to help the joke along I sent this post tongue firmly in cheek. I realize why people post OT here, we have a collection of some of the best responders that I have seen on any list anywhere. There is only one list I prefer more than this one and unfortunately my B dash account got taken away so I no longer have access to that list.
So anyway, don't get worried, to those thinking about unsubscribing, dry your eye, it will get better. Just shoot on past those posts. Use subject sorting in outlook or rules or something. On the MIIS list... I don't know, it might be popular, I wouldn't sub to it as I haven't found myself playing with it yet, too many other things to play with and I haven't been on any projects that needed it. joe [1] Which is all I ever do unless it is a post from some key folks and the subject isn't incredibly boring like "DNS does this or that" or "Group Policy something or other". So if you mention my name in a post and you want my response, have a good subject like man that joe rocks or something really AD specific and technical like decoding dsheuristics in 3 easy steps or something else like that. [2] That is for the joe's list comment Rick, you trying to get Tony to beat me up at the Summit or something? This is Tony's list, this is Tony's list, this is Tony's list. I just happen to have a lot of opinions and typo fast (sic). :o) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Murray Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 9:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Interesting suggestion Joe. Here's my humble opinion. I think we see a fairly high level of OT posts here because the folks on the list are helpful and they know a lot about non-AD related stuff. If we were to create a separate list (certainly feasible) my concern would be that people would continue to post OT to the activedir.org list because they know that's where the people with the knowledge are subbed. I think the OT prefix works pretty well as it is. If people don't want to read the OT posts they should be able to filter them out with rules. Anyway, I'm open to suggestions from others. While we're on the topic of separate lists, I was thinking of perhaps setting up a MIIS list. I just wonder if there would be sufficient interest?
