Constructive criticism is needed, how you present that can go a long ways towards how it will be received. I don't know how Texas Cavers are perceived, I've always lived here and been around us, but I've never heard bad things from other groups.
Are we a bit on the wild side, well yeah, but most of us are Texans and that's our nature. :) I understand that the list for TAG NET is very structured, and I'm guessing moderated, but I also understand its very selective about who gets on it, and that they also have some quality postings there. I like to think that Texans are a bit more social, we welcome everyone with open arms. This whole debacle about postings and off-topic wouldn't be a big deal, most large list-servers have this issue, I stepped in only because many said they were leaving, and I want us to grow. If the OT list helps this one stay on track and grow, it's doing as I intended. If not, we'll re-evaluate things and go from there.
