I have no purpose here to indulge in " trolling and flame baiting" . I only wish to make the point clear that when you say "A little light hearted discussion doesn't hurt anyone - " it could very well be a quote from one of the messages I wrote when I was criticised about the " Gloat Fest thread" . Which caught on with winter weary listers who percieved it as humourous and interesting as well as PCI Mac related. But was soundly squelched from a viewpoint opposite to what you are telling us now. I feel disillusioned and disoriented in this double standard. Listers responding to warnings of being dropped for OT have repeatedly pointed out the need for a lighter, less serious tone on the list. So where is the line drawn, strict rules and regs as you had seemed to insist on or tolerance for some diversion ? You provide the forum, but the great people who participate here are what make this list so valuable. How is it again that we are supposed to act ? No sense of anger or resentment is meant to be construed here. I just want an end to the confusion. Adrian D'Alessio -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
