The only ones that get shut down immediately are the ones violating netiquette
rules. If you need to review this, go to
<http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml> . I'm sorry if you don't like
playing inside the lines, but Dan drew them up and holds the nannies to them.
There is even a trivial rule #6 about keeping 'me too' messages off list.... I
didn't write them.....

FYI.... You were the 12th one posting to this particular subject heading...

The 'Velocity RAM' subject had four posts and was not shut down.... Another two
subjects, 'velocity's 128 mb dimms' and 'Velocity Upgrades RAM' had about a dozen
posts between them and neither Paul nor I posted anything about dropping the
threads....

Posts relating to pci-powermacs are more than welcome here. When listers start on
each other or approach topics banned by Dan, that's when we have been instructed
to jump in. I have been fairly quiet on this list but stand behind Paul in all of
his decisions thus far....
Long live Macs!
Thanks for being a great list! Now please allow this thread to die in peace.....
