I also agree that it serves a purpose, even though it is much quieter compared to when i first joined many years ago. I would not want to see it closed down, as there are questions coming up from time to time that would be very hard to get answered anywhere else.
As Kurt suggests – why not just block attachments at the mail server? jools From: rietveld_l-requ...@ill.fr [mailto:rietveld_l-requ...@ill.fr] On Behalf Of Kurt Leinenweber Sent: 8. mai 2015 18:17 To: Alan Hewat; Leopoldo Suescun Cc: rietveld_l@ill.fr Subject: RE: regress in crystallographic good practices and knowledge Hi Alan, I still like the Rietveld list and do read all the posts. Is it possible to block attachments so that people can’t attach files any more? - Kurt From: alan.he...@gmail.com<mailto:alan.he...@gmail.com> [mailto:alan.he...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Alan Hewat Sent: Friday, May 08, 2015 9:07 AM To: Leopoldo Suescun Cc: rietveld_l@ill.fr<mailto:rietveld_l@ill.fr> Subject: Re: regress in crystallographic good practices and knowledge I apologize in advance for attaching a file but I cannot share my astonishment without it. ....that´s why I worry more and more every day. And I worry that people are still attaching files to the whole list when they are explicitly asked not too. Most papers are on-line now, so just give a link to the paper. Or post your file to a free file sharing service - see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_hosting_services Anyone who still posts files to the whole list is automatically suspended for 1 week. Actually, I worry that the Rietveld list no longer serves a useful purpose. There are few interesting discussions, and apparently few people actually read the posts.
