Re: [Audyssey] The babel urination contest, was babel report for May
well why don't we put all the bable stuff on the offtopic forum of the audiogames website. Loads of junk goes there. I check it out from time to time.

Re: [Audyssey] The babel urination contest, was babel report for May
Well I like some offtopics as long as it doesn't take up list traffic totally or its complaints, flames, etc. I got off the chat lists I was on because of this. This may sound like a sob story but its true. Most of the week I am by myself, with out lists like this one and a few other things I'd be lost. SOme general chat is fine. Mostly I skim it as it is. I used to reply to all messages now I just do it for those I care for. Hi everyone, Could I first of all please ask you all to calm down? From what I have seen, the babble and thread reports have been coming on list now for years and I haven't really seen anyone complain up until this point. Though that doesn't mean to say there hasn't been any. I will stand corrected if I am wrong. Although I find it interesting to read through them I can see both sides here. Although this is a games list I am sure Jim will have okayed these emails with the list moderators and owners and said moderators and owners will have allowed such postings for a reason. To me, it can come across as a fun bantering contest with bragging rights about who can post the most or least messages on list. However, I can also see the other side in that trying to beat a message posting score can lead to unnecessary messages such as one-liners and days of talk about these reports coming on list. I think I will have to review this situation with Thomas and see where we go from here. If it is really so inconvenient then we will, I'm sure, come to some agreement. However, calling people childish and irresponsible isn't the way to ask for something. Constructive criticism is one thing, flaming is another. So can we please remember that when posting and maybe not post immediately as soon as your anger and frustration flares up. Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] The babel urination contest, was babel report for May
I think It's not so much the reports themselves that people are really complaining about. It's when people reply to said reports.
