very sensibly put MA!  And thank you for your felicitations about my 
computer and my mental health!  You are absolutely right of course, I 
would be going mad now if I didn't have my laptop while big brother is 
in 'hospital'!  After all, I would not have discovered CS if I hadn't 
been able to use my computer, and I wouldn't have been able to 
communicate with all you wonderful folks on the list would I?  So maybe 
it wasn't so off topic after all grin  dee

that's what God made the *delete* button for (uh-oh -- does that make

related to health issues (well, even the computer post was related to 
health -- your mental health Dee, right?)

  You are getting wiser by the day.  grin

  I have 3 computers, all within reach, .. they all work 
perfect and access the internet.


  You need at least 2,  or 3 is better.

One is a super laptop, I use very little. but it is ready for duty, 
like a good soldier.


I have 3 or 4 older ones, they all work too.

Never give up.  You will be a techie one day.

Then if will be your turn to teach us a few things.

Wayne

for... I'm sure they are out there.. but I signed up for a CS
list.. I already joined and quit this list once before in
frustration.. I only came back because I finally purchased a
silver puppy and thought I might have questions or learn from others'

I think it would kind of ironic if the people who signed up to learn

Well why don't you ask away then?  Everyone always chips in when someone 
has a question or a problem; its just that the list was quiet so 
something else came up to chat about.  dee

Hi all,

This will be my last post before I un-subscribe.
It appears that  a number of people are unaware of how and when to 
use the off topic list, and also unaware of many  general health 
support groups available on the internet.  As a result the silver 
list, a pretty specific  subject all in itself, is overloaded with 
posts. The only thing missing now is  posts on how to make a nice 
cuppa and  detailed knitting patterns.


On other topic specific  lists, any off topic posts are considered spam.

Wishing everyone all the best and good health.

Hanneke

I understand where you are all coming from  .. but personally, I enjoy  this 
list immensely  ... if something is off topic, click it off, you don't  have 
to read it.  Honestly, I have learned more on this list than on other  lists 
that are subject specific.  I enjoy the information that is  presented, where 
it 
be CS specific or other.  I think the people on this  list are very 
intelligent and present subjects with more ability and foresight  than most 
other lists 
to which I have subscribed.  Please keep on  doing what you are doing  .. I 
am enjoying this list  ..
 
Thank you,
 
Judy

I do feel that this is a shame because you have always had such a 
positive  and helpful input Hanneke.  I must say that I have not noticed 
the silver list being overloaded with posts at all, indeed, I thought 
that that was why the other topics were being posted.  I personally 
don't like the off topic list as it gets very confrontational which this 
list almost never has before, therefore I apologize to all whom it has 
offended, for posting about my computer problems. dee

LOL) As long as the off-topic posts are related to health issues (well, even the computer post was related to health -- your mental health Dee, right?)I don't think they're out of line as long as they don't go on forever. As far as new people are concerned, well if I was recommending this list to someone, I would probably forewarn them that off-topic stuff does come up once in awhile. Perhaps that could be mentioned in a *welcome letter* to new members, Mike, if such a thing exists. I think that only a complete skeptic (to CS), or an absolute newbie to the concept of internet chat groups (does such a person exist?) would blow off an internet group because of off-topic or odd posts. And I think it's sad that intelligent people who are members of this list would be willing to leave because the list isn't performing in the way that they'd like. Personally, I'm willing to ignore a lot of *crap* in order to read the occasional valuable nugget of information that I'd otherwisenot have access to. JMHO, of course.

Mike has stated repeatedly that he wishes the list to stay on the topic of CS.  
He doesn't mind if other topics are mentioned briefly when the list is quiet. 
 But Kurt seems to have major grievances and I understand tht he is upset.  
However, Kurt seems to use the list to mainly post grievances and not about CS.
