I agree with Neil !!!! Shall i add that even as a partial lurker i enjoyed the good atmosphere and sense of humour on this mailing list - seems to have turned a bit sour at the end of next year. Shows you don't even need a committee to get infighting and power struggles, a bunch of human beings and a bit of time are enough :-/ So let's hope that the good mood comes back, and i definitely hope Tony will stay in, as the mix of serious/fun there was at the start seemed like a good cocktail.
As for communicating mainly on IRC, this would indeed exclude some people like me : i don't have access to internet at work (paranoid customer, very painful), and at night, strange but true, i often have better things to do than chat for an hour or 2. An idea for more or less equal debate would be to announce a meeting time/subject on the mailing list (a net-event :-) ), so that people interested to discuss that subject would join in on the IRC channel at that point. Sorry for butting in late but i had a nice large break :-) happy new year to you all ! > ---------- > From: neil sinclair[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply To: SLUG-list > Sent: 24 December 2003 00:42 > To: SLUG-list > Subject: [Scottish] Guys, this is what it's all about! > > Thanks for the postings on 'end of year archive' - > > and for me, that's the Linux thing: > > Guys with intelligence and initiative helping each other out. > > I really like the SLuG as it is - ramshackle beermat or what - > because it's got some 'heads' (Colin, Martin, Ben, et al) and the rest of > us, > who may eventually spread the Free Software Word to the so-far > uninitiated world. > > I've learned a lot by lurking in here, and I will give back what I've > learned in future times. > > Keep the faith! > > Neil > > > _______________________________________________ > Scottish mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish > *********************************************************************************** This email and any accompanying files are confidential.
