If you're talking about Tel, he's been on the list for a number of years, and he's right to observe that the list has changed since times in the past when message volume was generally much less and the signal to noise ratio higher. It was probably quite a shock to him to arrive in the midst of a surge of 120 message days with little to no CS content. <grin> > Let him go spend his hard earned dollars elsewhere.

No, we're just not yet trimmed back to the best (least annoying?) compromise between topic freedom and letting the list become overwhelmed. I'm working to preserve that spark of spontaneity and the scope of discussion, but I need help from each of you to keep the quality up and the volume manageable. The other side of this argument is, do you really want somebody who's coming here, tired, stressed out, desparate for options, either sick themselves or caring for a loved one, to be inundated by a hundred messages before seeing even one come by that's about CS? A third of which probably could have not been sent at all? > (Why does it cost him to download? He is behind the 8-ball.) As I said in my other message, dial-up and other antiquated access methods are still common, and I'm not prepared to ignore the needs of a third of our members (roughly, guessing) who still use them. I've got broadband and a machine that's fast enough to handle the messages easily. Many don't have that luxury. Now, at some point, I *will* spend a little time reminding everyon of the repeated admonition in the rules against playing LIST COP, which is what Tel was doing and you're right to resent. That's my job, folks, not yours! <grin> (Now I just have to do it, eh?) Peace, Mike D.
