Lawrence, I think it was appropriate for the list. Albeit maybe ,missing some things or long winded but you as a Moderator can't get into editing a person's post. I think you made the right decision.

I got busy with work, so didn't get to deciding if it should be accepted until the next day. But, my recollection was that if its tech-related or pertinent to the list, to allow it through. And, since the desire is for good and varied discussion on the topics we get, err on the side of liberally allowing anything on topic for the list regardless of membership. (The last part has caused problems when all the discussion goes to the list and the OP is angry that either [when they're lucky] only got one reply, or none.) ----- Original Message ----- > Okay I check and here is what is in the policy for Mailing Lists.
