Now, now... Discussions are allowed to go off topic on Phono-L. Although this lists primary purpose is the discussion of phonograph-related topics, off topic discussions do allow us to get to know each other on levels other than our hobbies. Of course, the rule is to keep everything civil. I used to have some other rule about spamming the list, but the Mac server on which Phono-L runs pretty much takes care of that for me.
I use whatever OS suits my needs for the moment. Linux, Unix, OS X, Windows XP... because of the technology, I'm able to save a small bit of history through digitization and - last but not least - bring Phono-L to you. OS's just facilitate the tools that I need and use. I may regularly attend the churches of Steve and Linus, but I stray into the tent of Bill when needed. But I digress. I just want everyone to know that Phono-L is not a lock-stepped moderated list. It's about collectors helping fellow collectors, from saving a newbie from a disastrous crap-o-phone purchase to helping an author conduct research to finding that crucial part. And occasionally giving advise on internet safety. I read each contribution and learn something from each post. As always, flames, gripes, constructive suggestions to [email protected] (no anatomically impossible suggestions please!). Have a happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your families.
