Ladies!
I think it may be time for people to reflect on the words of Saint Gav
of the vax.ox.uk, who penned the first ever Leeds List Guide and which
we always refer to when folk get tetchy.
The relevant passages are:
(From the Leeds List Guide:)
4.1 Take what you like and leave the rest
There are hundreds of people on the list. About a quarter post to it
from time to time, so it's inevitable that you will enjoy some postings,
and detest others. If there's a string of messages you don't like, just
delete them instead of getting steamed up. Concentrate on the stuff you
enjoy.
4.2 The list is as good as we make it
If you don't like what you're reading, then write something else, the
sort of thing you would like to see. Sometimes it's the most opinionated
who do all the talking, which covers up what many others think. Don't be
afraid to express your views - you will find others who agree with you.
There is no official "list view" on any topic, so the mail posted
consists of whatever each member decides to send, no more and no less.
Overseas readers, and those away from Leeds, appreciate local news
items, and especially match reports. Write when you can, if you want to.
4.3 Write about others as you would like to be written about yourself
To avoid the hassles which have occasionally afflicted the list, and
given rise to the scary tones of the disclaimer and bits of this intro
file, be careful what you write. When you write about players and club
officials, and others on the list, remember they are people just like
you, and try to treat them with the respect you would like given to you.
Ultimately, if abusive posting becomes excessive, the good name of Leeds
United, and the continued existence of the mailing list, is put at risk.
Now can we all enjoy Friday and the rebirth of our team?
Pax Vobiscum
Betty
