Hi Todd and All,
I have to go with Todd on this one. I'm about to
have to choose between staying with biofuel and the
gasifacation list I need to join. If the OT, political
on this list stays as bad as it's been I'll have no
choice.
I believe it hurts the biofuel cause this list is
supposed to want to spread.
While humor is good it should be only as an aside
on other ontopic posts and if you want to respond to
these take them offline. Some of you have very wierd
senses of humor!!!
At least label them OT- humor or OT-pol for
political so those of us who have other lives can get
the biofuel info the we and the world needs without
the OT's. You can't delete what's not labeled.
Over half the posts in the last month have been OT,
that's way too much. There are other lists for those
who need their humor, pol fixes.
Another problem is lack of post editing making
what is a 1 line post into a 10kb to 100kb post.
If we follow these rules we'll get more members
and lose less. What's more important your OT fixes or
spreading biofuel as wide as we can?
I've been part of the problem too with my wind-
water gen posts but at least they are RE in nature and
goes to the same goal of renewable energy and are
intertwined with biofuel. I'll cut down on them and
label what I do post as OT-RE in the future.
Thanks,
jerry dycus
