Sorry to have to disobey the implied instruction above, but I have to ask: why not? What better place is there to discuss how PRODIG should be handled than on the list itself? Otherwise it's a discussion between list members and owners, behind closed doors, with, presumably, each list member getting coporate-style replies like what you've written below: >Each and every list member is cordially invited to submit any kind of >comments, criticims and proposals to make ProDig a better place for >all, but for the rest of the week, let's keep the list focused on >Digital Issues. > >Those of you fellows, who are setting up new lists in related digital >areas, we wish you all good luck in your endeavours and hope we can >complement each other with fine content and great discussions. > >Thanks for your cooperation I don't mean to get at you personally Jorge, I know you do the job under difficult circumstances, but the above sounds as though you copied and pasted it from somewhere else. Together with some other recent list-mom messages attempting to address the problem but ending up with exhortations to 'trim excessive posting', it all sounds like 'Fiddling while Rome burns'. Or, to use the modern equivalent, 'Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic'. -- Best wishes Paul Bradforth http://www.paulbradforth.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
