Tim, I think the official position is "in the long run" this will be a great list. In the "short run" the list originator has clearly implied "put-up or shut-up". IMO opinion you're looking for visionary leadership in the wrong place. I've found over time that you cannot ever influence people's behavior on a public list, unless the list is moderated or the list has established a set of rules beforehand. The POPULAR opinion is to leave this list for "best practices" alone and start another one for "tech support for class training". And its not okay to say put up with the noise as you stated in the following message.

VC> So, Vic you're more than welcome to un-subscribe me (my bad, I forgot, you're as busy as the rest of us), since I'm "complaining" but I consider this a classic case of "bait and switch". You never established any common set of ground rules beforehand, yet you've changed the list policy to also include 5.2Meg attachments and tech support for your classes. You should check your list software - if it doesn't have the capability to limit message size and/or attachments, I would dump it and hire another sysadmin. Unless its yourself, then you're stuck. So unless you wanna keep hearing from "complainers" I would suggest taking the class traffic off-line. **Some of those introductory message -- Hi, my name is Rodney -- remind me of watching a TV show about an AA meeting.
