....when the listmoms can't learn from recent events that it's tinme for a change of attitude to the way this list is administered.
A couple of posters have quite reasonably drawn others attention to just how publicly available the archive is through search engines such as Google on the internet at large and also how the ProDIG annexe has been adopted by many 'undesirables' as a place to advertise their websites. The listmoms reaction is to tell us that the thread is closed as being off topic and to criticise inadvertent failure to crop extraneous text etc. Sorry Ellie, and this is not a personal issue, but I for one am fed up with being treated like a schoolkid. It is as if members of the list are to be denied a little freedom of speech and are not permitted a measure of general banter that makes a community worth belonging to. In recent days we have seen the emergence of a new list started by longtime prodiggers essentially out of protest that proDIG no longer provides them with what they want. I also detect a substantial fall in the number of posts to proDIG which I assume may well be due to the new list now competing with proDIG. Personally, I would much rather we had been able to debate these issues here and endeavour to change the proDIG formula to more suitably serve the members who, after all, in reality ARE the list. Call this a rant if you like, but I genuinely fear that proDIG as we know it is at real risk of diappearing unless a more realistic attitude to what 'makes it tick' doesn't emerge in pretty short order.
