Go for it guys. That's what I thought the "OT:" prefix is for. If it's too
much, or eating your time, filter the "OT:" stuff to begin with. Then when you
want to pop a brewsky and yuck it up, go to your OT: folder to see what's up.

it gets out of hand. Sometimes I say something but most of the time I let the
self policing nature of the list do what nature does. For many of us, this
list is as close to social media we want to go. Many of us have been on here
since it was part-15. 15 years or so. Personally I don’t have any desire for
the list to grow or shrink or change other than to remain a place where we can
hang out. This list is most certainly not a “safe place” and you will not see
trigger warnings unless you see the occasional literal “trigger warning”. It
is kinda like a friendly bar that I can hang out in without my Mormon neighbors
seeing me parked out front. Once upon a time Doug Clark was a semi offical
list daddy. That lasted until Doug got pissed about something. As always ALL
opinions will be more-or-less welcomed. From: Paul McCall Sent: Wednesday,
March 01, 2017 12:25 PMTo: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] List topics and
verboseness of non-WISP non-business related discussions I shared this with
Chuck McCown, and he suggested I share this with the list directly, so here
goes. Just FYI, in my normal business conversations with WISPs, I get one or
two people a week tell me they no longer look at the list because of all the
BS, politics, etc. I also don’t use AFMUG nearly as much as I used to because
of that. While it costs me $$ for every email sent (I have never
complained), AWS is very solid and reliable, so it was a great choice. That’s
not the point of my comment. People need to take that junk to some other
venue, so we can focus on important technology and business needs, IMO. It
probably won’t change but it’s my 2 cents. Paul Paul McCall, President
