It's now reached the stage where the noise about the off-topic noise has become louder than the original off-topic noise it was aiming to stop, with people replying just to score points against the opposition. Honestly I've worked with children who are less likely to answer back than some of the adults on this list. Personally, rather than some theoretical vote about some silly idea to move to a newsgroup which isn't going to happen, I vote we all just shut up. The list is clearly here to stay, get_iplayer is working, everyone is happy. If you want to discuss newsgroup clients, go elsewhere. No wonder a forum was created for GiP - I wouldn't wish wading through this mess on anybody, least of all the developer(s) of the fine software we all use every day. In many other communities, the continued proliferation of this sort of traffic would see you removed and/or moderated at the very least. Please try to bear that in mind before replying to me just to tell me how much you disagree with my tone. Or if you do, have the decency and common sense to do it off-list. Thank you, and a good afternoon to you all. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
