I'm glad you said that, not me ;-) But how in the heck is > this whole entire topic related to etree? From the etree.org mailing list pages: "we will attempt to moderate for unintelligent posts rather than off-topic posts." I found this thread interesting and amusing. I thought it was refreshing to hear some personal anecdotes from people on the etree lists. And fwiw, I think the moderator made an error when he squashed this thread. After all, what is etree but a _community_ of people who share an interest in music and wish to gather and spread that music? We invite each other into our homes and our offices when we allow each other to download shns via ftp. And you guys are trying to tell us we can't talk to each other about things that are interesting but not entirely related to music? BTW, I also have a lot of respect from brothercrow, who, in my experience, has never been anything but level-headed and kind. There has > been more discussuion on this than anything since the > last Phish 2000 seeds were released. Haleluiah! Finally some posts that don't have an ISO or request for help--simple conversation! Woohoo! Reminds me of the good ol' days on etree... Read Dead > Base!Check the net at one of the hundereds of set list > sites. They did not play there. Please let it go!

I think you need to read the mailing list pages on etree.org. You _completely_ misunderstand this WOB thing, based on what you wrote. It's very simple, actually. If you ASK FOR SOMETHING, YOU OWE A WOB TAX. If you simply have some thoughts to share, you owe nothing. Come on. I hate > modertaion as much as anyone does. Really? That's not the impression I get. Please--and this is for the moderators and the self-appointed naysayers-- understand the etree.org discussion list policy and the spirit of that policy before squelching conversation on the DISCUSSION list. Now, please don't email me saying "Where's your WOB tax?" There is none. I don't owe one. This is on-topic and I'm not asking for anything. And please don't take this as a flame. I am simply offering a contrary opinion that I think is a lot closer to what this list is intended to be. If I sound a little abrupt, it's only because I wonder how many times and how many people have to explain the whole on-topic off-topic thing and the wob tax. I thought Wilbur definitely explained it a couple months ago...I guess not :-( Peace, Jeff Siteop space.etree.org _______________________________________________ etree.org etree mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mail.etree.org/mailman/listinfo/etree Need help?
