I joined this CS list because I expected to find people who would willingly share their experiences and knowledge. I thought I would learn new things about CS -- how to make it, how to use it, how to help my friends and neighbors -- and of course I have. However, early on I learned that the old-timers had already discussed "whatever" and I'd better look to the archives. Soon I realized that sharing with newcomers was not encouraged. Often it was actively discouraged. Personalities and points of view flourished -- despite Mike's able job. So now I must ask, does anyone know of another CS list I can join? One that recognizes all levels of expertise? That realizes newcomers need to be welcomed and supported? That is excited about this marvelous substance and doesn't have turf issues? That doesn't believe in sub-groups? Or am I just being naive? Judy Down Maine
The comment I read recently was -- "This created a "privileged class" who were not held to our normal rules of behavior. The long term result was to destroy the helpful spirit of our list and decimate the ranks of our lay community." Yes, I'm searching for that helpful spirit. I feel decimated (does that mean one-tenth of me is damaged or one-tenth remaines?) I'm not one to run, but I'm ready to -- and I am gravely disappointed.
