errr - ummmm, that nameless list member had donated money even before that ;)
I look at this list as the occasional BS chit chat water cooler - only it's with people who have/had some relation to CF. It's great for people who are the sole developer at their work, or the self-contractor, or the people who just find their coworkers bland. So that's cool - you get to talk politics, entertainment, muffins, fish porno with "co-workers" that have a common denominator. The email list medium fit that pretty well. I'm not so sure whether archiving this list publically is very useful though - it's like the boss installed a surveilance camera above the cooler so you'd stop talking about her ugly shirt or something. Not a biggie though - some people have vowed not to play kiss-ass at We Build Big Missles Inc. Propping up a politically correct BS reputation isn't as important - but would still be nice to not have ol' grandpa skimming across pictures of you in your skibbies ;) And hey - you were the one who requested pictures for the houseoffusion fundraiser calendar - I was just doing you a favor man :) Adam. >One list member (who will remain nameless) donated some money to the upkeep of >the list for just that reason.
