Welcome. >very interested and passionate, but extremely put off by the >unfortunate diatribes published by some of the participants. It was >disappointing to read the back and forth of the last couple of weeks >regarding Cuba Yes, unfortunate - a difficult person, now departed, with a record for unreasonableness that quite a few listers can attest to. >and more recently the discussion regarding wood alcohol and >it's relative safety. Not a diatribe, not even an argument, just a discussion, and a useful one. It's a discussion list - one of the purposes of discussion is to resolve points of disagreement, no? Disagreement is inevitable when people share their different experiences. Thus we progress. >I would like to support the person who wrote that >persons who post should check their facts. Yes, but the person who posted that hadn't, and apologised. Don't you think it's important to get the record straight on such important issues? After all, there IS a record - a much-consulted archives. >Please if you feel the need to argue and attack one another personally, do >that in one to one e-mails. There was no personal attack. There was a need to get the facts straight on-record, not off-list. Argument is welcome here, personal attacks aren't. But please note that there are no strict rules and regulations here, these are mature people who know how to behave and seldom need to be told what to do. >I think an unavoidable pitfall to working within this medium (e-mail) is the >repetition of information. I wish there was a way to keep from having to >open the notes that say, "Thanks" or "I'll check it out" etc. Those are a small minority, I'm not going to be schoolmarmish about it. Re repetition, listers are encouraged to snip irrelevant matter, and also the add-ons at the bottom, which proliferate with each response. Reproduced more than 900 times as it's sent to each subscriber, it all wastes a lot of bandwith, and also clutters up the archives. Please take note.
