The lemlists list is an underused list, but it allows a little more

Len also wrote in another thread:
The chastisement was to take a discussion to the LEMlists list,
which was specifically set up to discuss the policies and practices
on the LEM lists. It is not an active list, but many of the LEM
nannies and Dan do monitor it closely. That being said, as I posted
before, we do allow civil discussion of list issues on the list.

As a Group Manager (formerly List Nanny) for several LEM Groups, I was
pleased when Dan set up the Lemlists Group back in June 2007, and
looked forward to reading meaningful comments and suggestions.
However, I do not believe that its existence has been well
publicized. If "many of the LEM nannies and Dan do monitor it
closely," as Len stated, but about which I have doubts, they would
have noticed for sure that the group has not served its original
purpose. Almost all of the messages posted to the Lemlists Group for
the year 2009 were initiated by one member, and those messages were
all Off-Topic, having nothing to do with "policies and practices on
the LEM lists." Whoever serving as managers for that group could have
and should have taken some action about it. Periodic reminders about
the existence of Lemlists Group on all other LEM Groups, by Dan or
some others, might have helped to enhance its utilization.
In any case, because of the above situation, we do accept occasional
"civil" (in Len's word) discussion of group issues on the group, as we
allow other occasional off-topic discussions. However, we did have to
shut down a few cases in which some members complained, here in the G-
Group, about their unique personal problems in other LEM groups.
Please consider subscribing to the Lemlists Group, and make
constructive contributions there.

groups, and list nannies as group managers)
