Analysis: True He probably won't be back to FFL-2 - not after the reply I posted recently. He's so jealous sometimes, he just can't stand sharing the spotlight with anyone, as you know. Obviously he should have stuck to his original alias, UT, and kept posting to Google Groups. That way,

I generally can't follow what Doug is saying much of the time, but the gist of this latest rambling sounds pretty weird. I'll jump in a heartbeat, and break free of the dogma, or whatever it is that is being proposed. Crazy, isn't it. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,

You questioned my terminology. The Yahoo term for the person responsible for the group is List Owner. Doug is the List Owner of FFL. No further "research" needed on that point. Your post is a non sequitur. We're not talking about who owns user content or moving FFL to another platform.

In the old days, we had Dejanews on Usenet in plain text, but then the corporations moved in and bought all the code and screwed everything up. Yahoo sucks - who wrote this program anyway? Doug should have made up his own group on Google Groups, it's far superior and has a more advanced

Not good enough research. I don't have time nor the interest to wander through the group "terms of service and agreement" but these issues have come up in the past regarding these kinds of companies. For instance there was an issue over Facebook overreach with regard to owning user content.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Post Count Sat 17-Sep-16 00:15:07 UTC

As I said, Doug is the owner of FFL. "List Owner" happens to be Yahoo's own term for the individual responsible for a group. Look at any group "About" page; scroll down to the "Group Email Addresses" section. The last address is called "List Owner." For FFL, the address is:

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Post Count Sat 17-Sep-16 00:15:07 UTC

Over the years on FFL whenever Doug would display displeasure at the content some of us suggested he just form his own Yahoo Group. Of course we also suggested he would probably only have one member. :-D Rick can speak for himself but we do know he got too busy with BGP to do much with FFL.

I'm very dubious that Barry is going to show up on FFL2 again. The embarrassment that caused him to flee was too great, and if the same people who embarrassed him are there, he isn't going to expose himself to that kind of trauma again. He made that one post because nobody else had posted for

Thanks for calling out all the site trolling, Doug, There should be a FFL Group rule that anyone caught lying to this discussion group should be banned immediately, without even a warning - don't even give the trolls a chance to respond. There's nothing spiritual about debating mundane

FWIW, the only person who was thrown off FFL who still occasionally posts to FFL2 is Xeno. All the others have fled into The_Closet and slammed and locked the door. (Er, excuse me, The_Corner.) I agree with you that ideally, FFL should be left alone to grow. But as I suggested, I don't think
