What set us off were rants about the Blackberry which was posted one after the other. One post was even blank, which I hope was done accidentally.
To make it clear, we can discuss *anything* that's related to the Treo: it's OS, hardware, and accessories. Let me say an analogy: here we are talking about the various qualities of wine then from out of nowhere someone decides to insist that we try soda. It sounds crazy but that post disrupted the discussion. So again, and as Levi has posted, it may be criticism, but the way the posts came out one after the other, they sounded more like blasts. Moderation is always *temporary* to account for the fact that moderators *may* be wrong. We are only doing it to make it convenient for present and future Treo owners to read information about the Treo. Moderation can easily be lifted. As someone has correctly pointed out, there are other forums for the Blackberry or for any device for that matter. The discussion can be put there.

That doesn't seem very open to me. Now if someone has come on simply to blast and criticize and that's all they do, well, then that starts sounding like a Troll, but criticism in and of itself and a debate about another platform being better than PalmOS, well, that's just open discussion. It is very relevant to Palm/PalmOS, although Palm/PalmOS adherents may not like to hear such criticism. What blurs this significantly is that Palm itself has been selling Windows Mobile devices for a couple of years now under the Treo brand. So wouldn't the choice of which OS to get on your Treo phone be relevant? And if that's relevant, why not compare to other platforms? Alli, maybe you are a comoderator here, I can't remember. I know Craig is. And whatever you guys say goes, but if you truly are going to censor this group when PalmOS is criticized (or other platforms are lauded) too much for your taste, to me this becomes a not particularly open place anymore. Perhaps that's what you want, though, for this to be a place simply for loyal PalmOS fans, and that's fine, but if that's the case, please confirm it so those who don't fit this mold can go elsewhere. > > Levi > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alli > Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2008 10:50 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Treo] Treo Yahoo Group > > Since this is the Treo Yahoo group, can we please get back to Treo > issues and stop discussing, iPhones, Blackberries, and any non Treo > device/issue? > > I know there are plenty of other groups out there for these other > topics.
